Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Devonshire Park and Cliffe Castle Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook, light and amenity space
- Whether planning permission can be given having regard to the ownership of the land
What decided it
The moderate less than substantial harm to the significance of the Devonshire Park and Cliffe Castle Conservation Area caused by the unsympathetic design and materials, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, could not be justified by the limited public benefits claimed.
