Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Carlton Hill Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The proposed extension would be of appropriate design and scale, sitting comfortably within the wider area with no harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area or the setting of listed buildings, and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The benefits of housing delivery and the presumption in favour of sustainable development, arising from the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, were not outweighed by any adverse impacts, as no harm to the Conservation Area or listed building settings was identified.
