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 with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The relocation of the historic gateposts away from the Chorley New Road junction would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by public benefits, conflicting with development plan policies requiring conservation and enhancement of conservation areas.
