Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building known as Victoria Terrace
- Whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of The Downs Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would introduce inappropriate and incongruous external metalwork that would harm the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
