Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brewood Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Brewood Conservation Area by creating a harmful void and expanse of openness through removal of the sandstone wall and excavation, with insufficient mitigation through planting or materials, and no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
