Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sheepfair/Bow Street Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of The Old Mill, with particular regard to outlook and the loss of private amenity space
What decided it
The failure of the proposed development to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, with the loss of mature trees and infilling of historic open space carrying considerable weight that outweighed the modest public benefits of the proposal.
