Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Bury St Edmunds Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The public benefits of the scheme, including modest enhancements to listed building settings and additional housing supply, would not be of sufficient force to outweigh the less than substantial but moderate harm to the significance of the Conservation Area caused by the western wing's incongruous bulk and poor design.
