Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building, and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Eye Conservation Area; preserves the setting of the Grade II listed building at 48 High Street and the effect of the development on the significance of the Methodist Chapel, a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The harm to the Conservation Area and listed building setting, assessed as less than substantial but considerable, outweighs the limited public benefits of increased building security, particularly where alternative security measures were not demonstrated to have been considered.
