Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and local area, bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Newton Ferrers Conservation Area, and taking into account its location within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Heritage Coast
What decided it
The visual prominence of the proposed lantern from public viewpoints and its incongruity with the traditional pitched roof forms and historic character of the conservation area could not be justified by the private and minimal economic benefits claimed.
