Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including designated heritage assets
  • the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • highway safety

What decided it

The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, when weighed against the limited public benefits advanced, was decisive in dismissing the appeal, reinforced by the unacceptable impacts on residential amenity and highway safety.

The benefits of supporting the public house business, local economy and tourism were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of harm to the conservation area, noise and disturbance to neighbours, and highway safety impacts; Policy S4 of the Framework did not point to permission being granted.
