Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Appledore Conservation Area
What decided it
The limited harm to the significance of the conservation area through loss of open views and the urbanising impact on the public footpath and street scene was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
The limited harm to the significance of the conservation area was weighed against the public benefits of local employment, housing provision and contribution to five-year supply, and the harm was found to outweigh the benefits.
