Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Coningham and Lime Grove Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to parking
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on flood risk

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the Coningham and Lime Grove Conservation Area by destroying the symmetry of the property and breaking the continuous walled frontage, which constitutes less than substantial harm that is not outweighed by public benefits.
