Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on character and appearance with particular regard to the Irthlingborough Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of existing properties, and the future occupiers of the apartments, with particular regard to parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of Habitats Sites
What decided it
The proposal would preserve and enhance the Conservation Area through its traditional design and materials, while the parking shortfall was acceptable in a town centre location with mitigation measures in place.
