Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with particular regard to outlook, and access to sunlight and daylight

What decided it

The proposed glass screens would harmfully detract from the character and appearance of the conservation area and fail to preserve or enhance it, contrary to Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and development plan policies, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 208

Plan policies cited: Policy CL1, Policy CL2, Policy CL3, Policy CL5, Policy CL6, Policy CL11
