Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, the setting of nearby listed buildings, 1-3 Marine Parade and 4 Marine Parade and the locally listed and local landmark building, the Park Inn Palace Hotel, and the setting of the Clifftown Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale and prominence of the proposed hub in an open, uncluttered section of pavement would result in unacceptable harm to the settings of nearby grade II listed buildings and the Clifftown Conservation Area, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
