Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and of the Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would meet sustainability objectives, including with regard to maximising on-site carbon reduction
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building at No 55 High Street was not outweighed by the public benefits of three additional residential units and shopfront improvements, particularly given the availability of a five-year housing land supply and an extant permission for two flats.
