Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the conservation area
- the effects of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with unmitigated noise impacts on neighbouring residents, outweighs the economic benefits to the restaurant business, and no public benefits are sufficient to justify the development.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 37Policy 41Policy D3Policy HC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 215Paragraph 85
