Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the surrounding area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Worplesdon Conservation Area

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that suitable alternative sites outside the Conservation Area had been properly considered, combined with the significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, meant the public benefits of improved connectivity could not outweigh the heritage harm.
