Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and on the Hillmarton Conservation Area
- whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupiers
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Hillmarton Conservation Area arising from the incongruous backland siting and loss of openness, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefit of providing a single new dwelling.
The limited benefit of providing one new dwelling and the small economic benefit during construction were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers; the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
