Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Waresley Conservation Area
What decided it
The access track crossing open countryside would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Waresley Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits of one additional dwelling do not outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Waresley Conservation Area was weighed against the limited public benefits of one additional dwelling, low energy design, farm support and wildflower meadow creation; the harm outweighed the benefits.
