Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Halloughton Conservation Area
- The weight that can be attributed to previous approvals on site and lawful development certificates granted as a fallback position
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Halloughton Conservation Area caused by the contemporary design and location beyond the western edge of the village outweighed the modest public benefits of providing a new dwelling and self-build accommodation.
