Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Thetford Conservation Area

What decided it

The tower causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets, and this harm is not outweighed by the public benefits where no evidence demonstrates that more suitable alternative sites are unavailable.
