Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Cliff and Poole Hill Conservation Area
What decided it
The great weight to be given to the conservation of the designated heritage asset and the statutory duty under section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 outweighed the operational benefits claimed, as those benefits could potentially be achieved through windows of more appropriate design.
The great weight to be given to the conservation of the heritage asset and the moderate level of less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area outweighed the collective weight of the operational and economic benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
