Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to surrounding heritage assets, and if harm would be caused, whether that would be outweighed by any public benefit
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposal upon trees

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area from the widened access and erosion of character would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single parking space and EV charging point.
