Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the conservation area
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and quality of the public realm, with particular regard to the sense of enclosure and the experience of using the adjacent footpath
What decided it
The moderate public benefits of the scheme did not outweigh the great weight given to conservation of the conservation area and the harm caused by increased enclosure of the adjacent public footpath.
moderate overall positive weight attributed to the public benefits did not outweigh the great weight given to heritage conservation and the less than substantial harm identified, so the balance tipped against the proposal
