Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that removing the condition would have on the setting of the Grade I listed Church of St Mary, the Grade II listed Churchyard Wall South of Church of St Mary and the Grade II listed building known as Abbey Shop Abbeytown Library
- the effect that removing the condition would have on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The predominant render finish of the dwellings on the appeal plots facing Abbey Road, combined with their set-back from the road, distance from the listed buildings, intervening development, and the already-varied character of the surrounding area, means the removal of Condition 2 preserves the settings of the nearby listed buildings and does not harm the character and appearance of the area.
