Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of No 16 and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Deards End Lane Conservation Area

What decided it

The public benefits of the proposed development would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Deards End Lane Conservation Area caused by the subdivision of the generous plot.

The modest public benefits of housing supply and economic and social benefits from construction and occupation were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset
