Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
  • whether sufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with regard to noise and artificial light

What decided it

The harm to the Conservation Area's significance, which carries great weight under paragraph 212 of the Framework, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, and insufficient information was provided to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for neighbouring residents regarding noise and light.

Framework references: 88, 209, 212, 214, 215, 219

Plan policies cited: Policy E2, Policy N1, Policy N8, Policy N9
