Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Town Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed external seating area on the living conditions of the occupants of Warehouse 13
What decided it
The external seating area would both harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and cause unacceptable noise disturbance to residential occupants, whereas the internal bistro/café use would not.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area from the external seating area was not outweighed by any public benefits, and the significant noise harm to residential living conditions was unacceptable; the internal bistro/café use presented no such conflicts and was therefore permitted.
