Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Fore Street South Conservation Area
  • highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and outlook
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate surface water drainage to manage the risk of flooding

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Fore Street South Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given under the Framework, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
