Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be suitably located, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
  • whether it would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, which must be afforded great weight under the Framework, is not outweighed by the public benefits and provides a sufficiently strong reason for refusal.
