Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area bearing in mind it would be within the Walsham le Willows Conservation Area and within the settings of the grade II listed The Boar Public House and the grade II listed The Beeches
- The living conditions of the occupiers of The Beeches with particular regard to outlook or privacy
What decided it
The modest public benefits of securing the beer garden are insufficient to outweigh the great weight that must be attached to the less than substantial but considerable harm caused to the setting and significance of two grade II listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area.
