Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Leigh Cliff Conservation Area
  • Effect on the significance of the locally listed host building and terrace as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposed timber framed shop front would create a traditional appearance consistent with existing shop fronts in the parade, preserving the character and appearance of the conservation area where the upper floors make the primary positive contribution to heritage significance.
