Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the site's location within the Walkhampton Conservation Area and the setting of a listed building
  • Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on potential archaeological remains
  • Whether the proposed development would secure the necessary biodiversity enhancements

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the Walkhampton Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building Staddons caused by removal of the historic stone wall and its replacement with modern gates could not be outweighed by the limited public benefit of a single off-street parking space.
