Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on open space
  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Cross Town (Knutsford) Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of a designated open space and cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.

The moderate social and economic benefits of providing two new dwellings and construction activity, together with modest public benefits from tree works and an interpretation board, do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area heritage asset, to which great weight must be attributed, and the conflict with development plan policies protecting open space.
