Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Church Stretton Conservation Area
- Whether the development would prejudice highway safety
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area's character through loss of mature trees and the unresolved highway safety concerns regarding visibility splays at the access point, neither of which could be adequately addressed by condition.
The limited social and economic benefits of providing 2 new dwellings did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area
