Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and its amenity, including the setting of a listed building and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Town Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the movement of pedestrians and other footway users (including those with restricted mobility and wheelchair users) and public safety
What decided it
The unacceptable heritage harm to the listed building setting and conservation area significance, combined with unacceptable harm to visual amenity and streetscene character, which were not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
