Due to their age, status and visibility in public views they had a positive impact on the character of the area and harm would result from their loss. The scale, set back and width of the proposed building would give it a bulky appearance which would not be capable of being resolved at the detailed design stage. The impact on the outlook of existing residents was, however, judged to be acceptable.
