Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of a nearby listed building
whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to parking provision

What decided it

The development would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building Wells House and would fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would also fail to provide adequate parking provision.

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the conservation area, combined with inadequate parking provision, outweighed any benefits of the development; the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no other considerations to outweigh this.
