Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Dersingham Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II Listed Building, West Hall Manor Cottages
What decided it
The sympathetic design, materials, positioning and modest scale of the garage, combined with the enhancement of the boundary treatment, would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building.
The benefits of the proposal in terms of design quality and boundary enhancement outweighed any limited impact from the reduction in front garden openness and tree removal.
