Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wigtoft Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed buildings and conservation area caused by the loss of open space, potential impact on protected trees, and cluttering of views by parking provision outweighed the modest public benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
