Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the host property 1 Park Lane, a Grade II listed building, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Quarley Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed metal roller shutter door would be readily apparent as a modern replacement with a glossier manufactured finish that would significantly diminish the coherent appearance of the listed building and conservation area, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that was not outweighed by the unsubstantiated public benefits claimed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy E1Policy E9
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
