Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the wider area, including the Leigh Conservation Area and the Seafront
- the living conditions of occupants of 13 The Gardens, with particular reference to outlook
- cliff stability
- protected species
- trees on neighbouring public land
What decided it
The scale, form and design of the proposal would detract from the character and appearance of the conservation area and harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with benefits not outweighing the identified harm.
