What decided it
The limited public benefits of one new dwelling could not outweigh the considerable weight attributed to the less than substantial but permanent harm to the character and appearance of the Keymer Conservation Area.
The limited social and economic benefits of providing one new dwelling were outweighed by the considerable weight and importance attributed to the public and permanent harm to the conservation area.
