Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of 24 Friars Street (a Grade II listed building) and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sudbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The existing garage's negative contribution to the listed building setting meant that the proposed development, introducing more sympathetic detailing and making a neutral contribution, would preserve rather than harm the heritage significance of the listed building and conservation area.
