Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the terrace wall element of the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Grantchester Conservation Area having specific regard to its height, bonding, and mortar

What decided it

The harm caused by the wall's unattractiveness and prominence in the conservation area is sufficient to outweigh the benefits of creating an improved outdoor seating space for the public house.
