Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building of 34A Northill Road, with particular regard to its setting
- whether the location of the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to the development plan policies, with particular regard to the prevailing pattern of development of the area
What decided it
