Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Kegworth Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Kegworth Conservation Area caused by the height and modern design of the proposed terrace outweighed the moderate public benefits of housing delivery and associated economic and social benefits.

The moderate public benefits of five new dwellings, economic benefits during construction, and social and economic benefits from future occupiers did not outweigh the considerable importance and weight given to preserving the setting of the designated heritage asset
