Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Minet Estate Conservation Area
  • Parking and highway safety

What decided it

The identified less than substantial harm to the conservation area, when weighed against the limited public benefit of providing one additional dwelling, was insufficient to justify the development, combined with the failure to secure a suitable planning obligation to address parking and highway safety concerns.
