Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Hastings Old Town Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed buildings with particular regard to the adjacent Grade II listed Duke of Wellington Public House
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets (the conservation area and listed buildings) which is not outweighed by the small private benefit to the appellant of preventing water ingress.
