Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and whether any harm in that respect is outweighed by other material considerations, specifically relating to the security needs of the business
What decided it
The development causes demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of a prominent Victorian shopfront in the town centre, which is not outweighed by unsubstantiated claims about security needs and insurance requirements, as the appellant failed to demonstrate that alternative security measures had been properly considered.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Core Strategy (2014)Policy 17 of the Part 2 Broxtowe Local Plan (2019)Policy 18 of the Part 2 Broxtowe Local Plan (2019)
