Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of heritage assets, including the setting of the Grade II listed building and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Up Holland Conservation Area, including in respect of the impact on trees.
What decided it
The private benefits of improved security and privacy do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and the conservation area caused by the proposed boundary treatments and structures.
The private benefits of improved security, privacy and safety were weighed against the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets, with the harm outweighing the benefits.
