Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the Conservation Area and Listed Buildings
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and setting of listed buildings, which outweighed the modest benefits of adding one dwelling to local housing supply.
The modest benefits of housing supply and construction employment were afforded limited weight and did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and heritage setting.
