Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient evidence has been provided to justify the demolition of the existing building, having regard to climate change and waste reduction objectives
- Whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that retention and improvement of the existing building was not possible as required by Policy CC1 criterion e, and the proposed replacement would cause considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits identified.
