Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whiteladies Conservation Area

What decided it

The permanent loss of an historic front boundary wall within a designated conservation area, combined with hardstanding, would erode the character of the street scene, and the public benefits of the proposal do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
