Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sun in Sands Conservation Area, having regard to the setting of a group of locally listed buildings, and including any effect on trees
- Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to internal space standards
- The effect of the proposal on assets of archaeological significance
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and would be harmful to the setting of locally listed buildings, compounded by inadequate living conditions and unresolved archaeological concerns.
The harm to the conservation area and setting of locally listed buildings, together with the loss of protected trees and failure to demonstrate adequate living conditions, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
