- Rafferty C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Leyton Town Conservation Area
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a hot food takeaway
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle parking
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Leyton Town Conservation Area by creating an imbalance in the terrace through an unduly dominant shopfront, and the public benefits of the scheme do not outweigh this heritage harm.
