Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Ridgeway and Broadstone Park Conservation Area, including the contribution made to it by a non-designated heritage asset and protected trees
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants in relation to the provision of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, including the contribution made by the non-designated heritage asset and protected trees, and this substantial harm could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling.
