Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the development on the setting of nearby heritage assets, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving their setting
What decided it
The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the setting of two designated heritage assets with only private benefits and no demonstrated public benefit to justify that harm.
