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 in Flood Zone 2, combined with the absence of a secured contribution towards wheeled bins, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be permitted despite acceptable heritage outcomes.
