Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the setting of 86 and 87 Church Street, as Grade II listed buildings, and whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Bedwyn Conservation Area

What decided it

The great weight required to be given to the harm to the listed buildings and conservation area under Framework paragraph 199 outweighs the modest public benefits of a single dwelling.

The modest public benefits of one additional dwelling and minor economic contribution would not be sufficient to outweigh the great weight which must be attached to the harm to both the listed buildings and to the conservation area.

Framework references: 11, 199, 202

Plan policies cited: Policy 57, Policy 58
