Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area, with particular regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of Grade II listed buildings and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Offord Cluny Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of no 208 High Street, with regard to daylight, sunlight, and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of Grade II listed buildings through loss of undeveloped land and visual obstruction, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
