Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the significance of the West Square Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the West Square Conservation Area, albeit less than substantial, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal, as paragraph 199 of the NPPF requires great weight to be given to conservation of designated heritage assets.
