Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Bedford Conservation Area, and the effect of the door on the appearance of the building itself
What decided it
The unauthorised works harm the significance of the conservation area and the building itself, with no public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm identified.
