Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and local area, including the Bruce Grove Conservation Area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host building, terrace and Bruce Grove Conservation Area, which is a designated heritage asset, outweighs the limited private benefits of additional living space.
Although the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply and paragraph 11(d) of the Framework would normally be engaged, the heritage asset protection policies in footnote 7 apply and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply; the substantial weight attached to harm to the conservation area outweighs the limited private benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP11SP12DM12D6HC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 193Paragraph 196Paragraph 202Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
