Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development on the setting and significance of the Oxford Gardens Conservation Area
  • the effect of the development on public access, with particular regard to market uses on Acklam Road
  • whether the development would achieve the highest standard of fire safety

What decided it

The moderate harm to the setting and significance of the Oxford Gardens Conservation Area, combined with the detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, outweighs the economic benefits of the development.

the economic benefits of enabling the business to expand and accommodate additional customers were outweighed by the moderate harm to the setting and significance of the conservation area and the detrimental effect on character and appearance
