Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the conservation area and the settings and thereby the significance of nearby listed buildings
- Highway safety
- Crime safety
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- Climate change
What decided it
The considerable importance and weight required to be given to the conservation of the designated heritage assets (the conservation area and listed buildings) meant that the identified harms to their significance could not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposed development.
