Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of adjacent heritage assets being those of Listed buildings and the West Malling Conservation Area
What decided it
The previous Inspector's allowance of a similar scheme, combined with the Council's confirmation that the current proposal represents an improvement and their decision not to defend the appeal, led to the conclusion that the development would not harm heritage assets and should be allowed.
