Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal proposal would preserve the setting and features of special architectural or historic interest of the host site, No 7 Fountain Street and also Church Walk House and attached wall and railings, Nos 9 and 11 Fountain Street and No 13 Fountain Street
- Whether the appeal proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ulverston Conservation Area
- The effect on the safety of users of the highway
What decided it
The substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and character of the conservation area, combined with highway safety concerns, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the scheme.
