Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development has preserved or enhanced the character or appearance of the Strawberry Hill Road Conservation Area, having further regard to the appeal property being a Building of Townscape Merit
What decided it
The subterranean position of the development and effective screening by existing mature vegetation and boundary features mean the works do not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area or the significance of the heritage assets.
