Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the grade II listed building of the Marquis of Granby Public House and Sykes Shoe Repairs
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Church Street Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on highway safety arising from the use of the narrow, constrained Ellison Street as vehicular access to the car park, combined with modest harm to the listed building setting and conservation area character, outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.
