Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Padiham Conservation Area
  • Its effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 5 Queen Street with specific regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause both less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area without sufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would unacceptably harm the privacy of neighbouring occupiers.
