Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area including the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area and separately the effect of the proposal on the setting of Fryers' Callis and Burghley Lodges (West Gate) and Gateway Arches, both Grade II listed buildings
- The effect of the proposal on the quality and experience of using public footpaths as part of the network of green infrastructure in this part of the District
What decided it
The heritage harm to the Conservation Area setting, listed buildings, and their settings, combined with the detrimental effect on public footpath quality and experience, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, particularly given the up-to-date development plan and material differences from previously approved schemes.
