Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Hartshead Moor Top Conservation Area
- whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupants with regard to light
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through loss of trees and intensification of the plot, combined with unacceptable living conditions from overshadowing, was not outweighed by the provision of an additional dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Hartshead Moor Top Conservation Area was not outweighed by the provision of an additional dwelling or any other public benefits of the proposal.
