Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting to St Mary's Conservation Area
What decided it
The limited public benefits of the scheme, being largely private benefit to occupants, did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's setting and the harm to the character and appearance of the area, to which great weight must be given.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's setting and character and appearance of the area was weighed against the limited public benefits of improved accommodation, and the harm was not outweighed.
