Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the operational development accords with national and development plan policies which seek to consolidate commercial uses to within identified Town and Local Centres
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property, terrace and surrounding area
What decided it
The unauthorised development conflicts with the development plan's strategy to consolidate commercial uses within designated town and local centres and causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
