Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the Polesworth Conservation Area, and whether it would harm the significance of nearby listed buildings
  • its effect on the living conditions of occupiers of the scheme and its neighbouring properties

The proposal would preserve and enhance the conservation area through external improvements and landscaping, would not harm listed building settings due to the busy nature of High Street and the absence of material increase in movements, and would not create unacceptable living conditions with the imposition of conditions.
