Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the site for development, in terms of location and compatibility with National and Local Planning Policy
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the locality as a whole
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers, in terms of private amenity space
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, when weighed against the modest public benefits of the proposal, was not sufficient to justify the development.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area was weighed against the modest benefits of economic activity, housing contribution, and site clean-up, and the harm was not outweighed by these benefits.
