Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development within the MOL
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the MOL
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the building and the CA and the effect on the setting of nearby listed buildings
- If the proposal does amount to inappropriate development, whether any harm in that respect, and any other harm, is outweighed by other material considerations such as to amount to the very special circumstances needed to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development within the MOL that would cause substantial harm to openness and harm to a Building of Townscape Merit, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
