Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, and the setting of the adjoining conservation area
What decided it
The loss of openness resulting from development of the small garden site would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area, which would not be outweighed by the public benefit of a single dwelling not required to meet housing supply needs.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 12Policy 21Policy 23Policy 24
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 122Paragraph 12Paragraph 16
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.
