Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of Loughton Conservation Area and its effect on the setting of the nearby Listed Building
What decided it
The absence of any public benefits put forward by the appellant to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets, which must be attributed great weight.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets (conservation area and listed building setting) was not outweighed by any public benefits, and the appeal was dismissed.
