Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Walford-on-Avon Conservation Area
- Highway safety, with particular regard to refuse vehicles
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and its rural character, combined with highway safety concerns regarding refuse vehicle access, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic uplift.
The harm to the conservation area heritage asset and highway safety, attracting significant weight, outweighed the moderate weight given to housing supply and economic and social benefits.
