Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the Town Hall Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area by introducing a dominant and visually obtrusive extension that would obscure the stepped roof line character and fail to preserve the significance of the Town Hall Road Conservation Area, with no identifiable public benefits to outweigh this harm.

- Development plan policies
- LP1LP3LP5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205
