Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character or appearance of the Stratford-Upon-Avon Conservation Area, including consideration of the effect upon trees intended to be retained
- The effect of the proposal upon the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade I Listed Holy Trinity Church
- The effect of the proposal upon highway safety, having particular regard to intended parking arrangements
- Whether or not satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be provided, having particular regard to the availability of private garden space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of both the conservation area and the Grade I listed church, which was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and local economic support.
