Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Adelphi Road Conservation Area including the effect on a lime tree and whether it preserves the setting of a listed building

What decided it

The public benefits of additional parking and litter prevention do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage assets, particularly the compromise to the Victorian railings and the visual impact on the lime tree.
