Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area
What decided it
The timber wind screening causes less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
Less than substantial harm to the conservation area weighed against no identified public benefits; the great weight required to be given to conservation of the heritage asset meant the harm could not be justified.
