Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the site's location within the Charlestown Conservation Area and World Heritage Site

What decided it

The proposed development would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage assets (the Conservation Area and World Heritage Site) that cannot be outweighed by the unsubstantiated public benefits claimed in relation to car parking provision.
