- Wilson D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lewes Conservation Area and whether its effect on the settings of nearby Grade II listed buildings would harm their significance
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to outlook, privacy, sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Lewes Conservation Area and unacceptably harm neighbouring living conditions, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this harm.
