Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, the Waterways Museum, and whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Grand Union Canal Conservation Area and the Stoke Bruerne Conservation Area
What decided it
The development's unsympathetic modern timber form and materials in a highly visible position alongside the canal towpath causes less than substantial harm to heritage assets that is not outweighed by the modest public benefits claimed.
