Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bromley Town Centre Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Bromley Town Centre Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the modest benefits of providing one additional residential unit and supporting the hairdressing business.
