Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the respective developments preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bowdon Conservation Area
  • Whether harm has been/would be caused to the significance of Nos. 16-18 and 20-30 Grange Road, including their respective settings, which are identified as non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The harm caused to the character and appearance of the Bowdon Conservation Area and to the settings of non-designated heritage assets through the introduction of dominant, modern, non-traditional boundary treatment that conflicts with the verdant and sylvan character of the street is not outweighed by any material considerations.

Framework references: 215
