Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed external security shutters on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the City Centre Conservation Area and preserve the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The proposed external roller shutter would create an unacceptably blank and harsh frontage that would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings, with insufficient public benefits to offset this harm.
