Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, with due regard to heritage assets
Living conditions of nearby residents in respect of noise, odour and light

What decided it

The gazebo's bulk, degree of enclosure, use of inappropriate materials, and the significant possibility of unacceptable noise impacts on neighbouring residents at unsocial hours outweighed the moderate business benefits, particularly given the great weight to be attached to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
