Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the area including the effect on the identified heritage asset

What decided it

The conditions are reasonable and necessary because the decking would become an attractive meeting point for night-time congregation resulting in noise and crime/disorder issues affecting nearby residents, and the fixed planters would cause additional adverse effects on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset.
