Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wood Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset of the Wood Street Conservation Area, which is a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, particularly given the availability of fallback positions that could deliver redevelopment without such harm.
