Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tangmere Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character, appearance and significance of the Tangmere Conservation Area by eroding the important openness at the entrance to the Nicolson Close estate and disrupting the historic development pattern, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the few public benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development was not engaged because the Conservation Area is a designated heritage asset.

- Policy 33Policy 47Policy 10 of the Tangmere Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029
