Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lloyds Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Lloyds Conservation Area with no identified public benefits to weigh against that harm
The substantial harm caused to the character and appearance of the area, and the great weight to be applied to that harm, outweighed the limited merits of housing demand, use of previously developed land, and proximity to public transport and services
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 2 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core StrategyPolicy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core StrategyPolicy P6(R) of the Corby Borough Local Plan (1997)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 193Paragraph 196
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
