Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the marquee on the character and appearance of the area, including the Woodbury Conservation Area and the setting of The Maltsters Arms, a Grade II listed building
the effect of the marquee on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets (listed building and conservation area) and the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions from noise and disturbance were not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the business flexibility and community function.
