Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the streetscene, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Gidea Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Gidea Park Conservation Area, which cannot be outweighed by the private security and safety benefits claimed by the appellant.
Less than substantial harm to the conservation area weighed against claimed private security and safety benefits; the harm outweighed the benefits as they were not public benefits of sufficient weight
