Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO with particular regard to the impact of the proposed development on the character or sustainability of the Wisbech Conservation Area, having regard to the Framework where relevant to this matter
What decided it
The harm to the character and sustainability of the Wisbech Conservation Area caused by introducing a residential use at ground floor level, which would erode the prevailing commercial character of Norfolk Street, outweighs the public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area, to which great weight must be given, outweighs the public benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits from the proposal
