Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to both the approved outline planning permission and the FVDG SPD
- the effect of the development on surface water drainage and flood risk
What decided it
The proposed layout, scale, appearance and landscaping were found acceptable within the parameters already fixed by the outline planning permission, with no harm to character/appearance beyond limited less-than-substantial heritage harm outweighed by public benefits, and no unacceptable flood risk given the control retained under condition 8 of the outline permission.
the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area was outweighed by the public benefits associated with works to the pumphouse garden
