Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fairfield Road Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the settings of listed and locally listed buildings
What decided it
The proposal's excessive height and massing on an exposed corner site would be an overly prominent and incongruous element that would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and would unacceptably harm the settings of neighbouring listed and locally listed buildings.
