Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building
- Whether the works preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area
What decided it
The dark coloured whole front elevation stands out as a dominant and incongruous feature against the characteristic pale front elevations that predominate in the listed building terrace and conservation area, and the claimed public benefits are insufficient to outweigh the resulting harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SD8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 210Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
