Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Shotterton Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 Church Lane, 1 Shottery Green and 2 Shottery Green, and on future occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area's character through excessive scale and loss of open space, and would unacceptably harm neighbouring living conditions through overbearing impact and privacy loss, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.

- Development plan policies
- CS.8CS.9H4BE8BE6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 130
