What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area is not outweighed by the limited public benefit of providing storage for a retail shop, applying the balancing test in paragraph 202 of the NPPF.
The public benefit of providing storage for a shop in a Primary Retail Frontage was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, to which great weight must be given.
