Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area bearing in mind it would be within the King's Lynn St Nicholas Conservation Area and within the setting of the grade II* listed Bishops Lynn House, 18, Tuesday Market Place
- Whether the proposal represents an acceptable form of development having regard to its flood zone
What decided it
The harm to the designated heritage assets (the grade II* listed building and conservation area) combined with the failure to pass the flood risk exception test was not outweighed by the public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
