Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the designated heritage assets which are Canons Park Estate Conservation Area and the Grade II Listed Historic Park and Garden at Canons Park
What decided it
The incongruous appearance of the portacabin and mixed materials (perspex, wood, metal) in a domestic setting within a conservation area and historic park and garden designation results in unacceptable harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets which cannot be outweighed by any identified public benefits.

- Policy DM7Policy DM1Policy D3.D (11)Policy D3.D.(1)
