Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular reference to the Roundhay Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would improve or maintain accessibility for people with disabilities or mobility issues
What decided it
The development would cause less than substantial but nevertheless significant harm to the character and appearance of the Roundhay Conservation Area by introducing an incongruous vertically segmented bi-fold system that erodes the established horizontal shop-window composition and collective rhythm of the parade, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this heritage harm.
