Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area, with particular reference to the Frinton and Walton Conservation Area and Walton Pier and the Beach Huts, which are non-designated heritage assets
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbours, having particular regard to disturbance from noise
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the development having particular regard to policies concerned with development in areas at risk of flooding
What decided it
The development fails to preserve the significance of the non-designated heritage assets and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the moderate public benefits do not justify this less-than-substantial but considerable harm.
