Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed dwelling would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Empingham Conservation Area and/or preserve the setting of 2/4 and 4 Crocket Lane (both grade II Listed Buildings) and the effect of development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers, with particular respect to outlook, daylight, sunlight and privacy
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the on-site turning and the use of the access
  • The effect of the proposed development on trees and wildlife

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings through its incongruous scale and form, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits identified.
