Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposal provides adequate parking arrangements
What decided it
The proposal would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling.
