Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Earby Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Earby Conservation Area in a prominent location identified as a key view, which could not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.
