Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on highway safety
- The effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance and would be detrimental to highway safety, and the limited benefits of a single dwelling do not outweigh the great weight given to heritage conservation.
The limited public benefits associated with the provision of a single additional dwelling do not outweigh the great weight that must be attributed to the conservation of heritage assets and the detrimental effect on highway safety.
