Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the setting of nearby heritage assets
- The effect of the proposed access on highway safety, with particular regard to visibility
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the existing occupants of The Nathe and for future occupants of the proposed development, with particular regard to private external amenity space
What decided it
The less than substantial but significant harm to the setting of nearby listed buildings, which attracts considerable importance and weight under the Framework and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of providing a single dwelling.
The identified less than substantial harm to heritage assets, given considerable importance and weight, was weighed against the moderate public benefits (economic and social) of providing a single dwelling; the harm tipped the balance against the proposal.
