Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Loughborough Park Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting of the nearby listed building
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site with regard to provision for parking
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets, particularly the disruption to the historic character and setting of the conservation area and listed building, was not outweighed by the limited public and heritage benefits of the proposal.
