Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area including the Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Borough High Street Conservation Area by obtrusively dominating the host building and eroding the spaciousness of Clink Yard, and the moderate public benefits could not outweigh the considerable importance and great weight given to conservation of the heritage asset.
