Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Grange Conservation Area

What decided it

The development unacceptably harms the character and appearance of the conservation area through its industrial appearance, stark surfacing, disproportionately high fence, and excessively bulky outbuilding, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this heritage harm.
