Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would serve to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The dominant impact of the new building on the street scene, combined with the loss of the Copper Beech tree, would cause harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
