Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the conservation area
  • the effect of the development on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) known as The Dolphin Public House, 55 Albion Street

What decided it

The development fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and negatively affects the significance of the adjacent non-designated heritage asset through its contemporary design and materials, which are incongruous with the traditional historic context.
