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 extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Roman Road Market Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for the future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the conservation area and would fail to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly Unit 1, which together constitute material conflicts with the development plan that cannot be overcome by the limited public benefits identified.
