Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the adjacent listed terraces buildings and preserve or enhance the Norland Conservation Area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- The effect on trees
- The effect on traffic and highway safety
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed terraces and conservation area from the incongruous design of the proposed building was not outweighed by the public benefits offered, particularly given the Framework's requirement to give great weight to heritage asset conservation.
