Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Abbotsbury Conservation Area, and preserve the special interest of listed buildings, as derived from their settings
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and the special interest of listed buildings, combined with the absence of public benefits sufficient to outweigh that harm, and the conflict with the spatial strategy policy SUS2, determined the appeal.
The public benefit of an additional dwelling was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of heritage assets and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
