Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying the surfacing treatment of the emergency access on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the impact on the significance of non-designated heritage assets and whether or not it would preserve or enhance the Long Melford Conservation Area
What decided it
The narrow width, limited length and discrete position of the emergency access within the streetscene, combined with the eclectic mix of existing materials in the immediate vicinity including tarmac, means the variation to tarmac surfacing would not harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area or the significance of heritage assets.
