Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the character or appearance of the Bathford Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced

The harm to the character and appearance of the Bathford Conservation Area caused by the cramped, small-scale development that would erode the spaciousness of the area outweighs the modest public benefits of providing a new dwelling.
