Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the locally listed building and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Abbey and Barking Town Centre Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the setting of the Grade II* listed Curfew Tower and Abbey Ruins, a Scheduled Ancient Monument
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to noise and disturbance, smoke, and odour, light and waste
What decided it
The development causes less than substantial harm to the locally listed building and Conservation Area that is not outweighed by public benefits, and causes unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents.
