What decided it
The development causes less than substantial harm to the significance of the Trafalgar Avenue Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings, which carries considerable importance and weight given the statutory duty to preserve heritage assets, and no material considerations of sufficient weight justify determination otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
