Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Branscombe Park and Chine Gardens Conservation Area
- The effect on the setting of No.8 Burton Road
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.8 Burton Road, with regard to privacy
- The potential contribution to housing supply
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and its significance, which the Inspector found could not be outweighed by the benefits of housing supply given the considerable importance of heritage conservation.
The benefits of housing supply of substantial weight did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, which must be given great weight as a matter of considerable importance
