Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sandbach Town Centre Conservation Area, with regard to the effect on a non-designated heritage asset
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of adjoining neighbours, with regard to loss of light and outlook

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, combined with adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, was not outweighed by any identified public benefits, as the additional accommodation would be a private rather than public benefit.
