Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the St John's Grove Conservation Area

What decided it

The moderate weight attributed to the renewable energy and carbon reduction benefits does not outweigh the great weight that must be given to the conservation of the designated heritage asset, and the proposal therefore conflicts with the development plan.
