Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area having particular regard to the alignment of the front wall and the width of the vehicular access
What decided it
The proposed chamfered wall alignment would be incongruous with the original straight boundary wall and would undermine the architectural significance of the Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
