Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the works on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the extent to which it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The removal of the front wall would unacceptably harm the distinctive character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefit of electric vehicle charging does not justify this harm.
