Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on public safety

What decided it

The proposal would result in significant harm to the amenity of the area through its obtrusive and overly prominent appearance within a Conservation Area with nearby Listed Buildings, and no material considerations outweigh this harm.
