Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Middleton Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial but nonetheless significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, when weighed against limited public benefits and considered in the context of the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the heritage asset, outweighed any justification for the development.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, given considerable weight through the statutory duty to preserve or enhance, outweighed the limited public benefits of enabling home working.
