Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a grade II listed building Number 39 Street Coach and Horses Public House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, the setting of nearby listed buildings, and linked to that whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic and architectural interest of the grade II listed building and would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by unsubstantiated claims of economic and social benefits.
