Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting and special interest of Nos 31 to 58 Brunswick Road, which together comprise a Grade II listed building, and on the character and appearance of the Brunswick Town Conservation Area.
What decided it
The replacement doors have a simple, uncluttered design that does not harm the special interest of the listed building, and their location to the rear of the property means they have negligible visibility and effect on the conservation area.
