Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether varying the condition would result in development acceptable in planning terms, having regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including Chorley New Road Conservation Area
- whether varying the condition would result in development acceptable in planning terms, having regard to its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 1 and 3 Springlawn, and 1 Clarebank with particular regard to light pollution
What decided it
The relocation of historic gateposts away from the Chorley New Road access point would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area by failing to preserve its significance, and this harm was not outweighed by public benefits.
