Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having particular regard to its flood zone location
Whether or not an adequate contribution towards the provision of wheeled bins would be secured
Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building known as '5, Crown Street', its setting, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The effect of the proposed works and development upon the character and appearance of the St Ives Conservation Area

What decided it

The failure to apply and demonstrate the sequential test for flood risk, combined with the absence of a secured contribution towards wheeled bins, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not outweigh the identified harms.
