Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area, bearing in mind the extent to which it preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Old Town Conservation Area
- the setting of the Grade II listed building, numbers 12 and 13 Duke Street
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings, being less than substantial but of considerable importance, is not outweighed by the modest and primarily private security benefits claimed by the appellant.
