Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area; including whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lower Marsh Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the Lower Marsh Conservation Area by appearing as a disproportionately large and visually jarring addition that fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area, and this harm is not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the scheme.
