- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Newark Cottage with regards to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the Leigh Conservation Area, with no public benefits to weigh against this harm, outweighed the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The absence of harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of Newark Cottage was outweighed by the harm found in relation to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the conservation area.
