Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- whether or not the proposal preserves the Grade II* listed building 'Church of St Mary Magdalene and Attached Railings' or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses, in terms of how the building is experienced in its setting
- whether or not the proposed development would provide satisfactory living or working conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking and the overall standard of accommodation
What decided it
The proposal fails to comply with the Development Plan on multiple grounds: it harms the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, and it would create unacceptable living and working conditions through overlooking and poor outlook, with no material considerations sufficient to override these failures.
