Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the impact of the proposal upon the setting of the Heckford Park Conservation Area
- The effect upon the living conditions of future residents, with particular regard to private amenity space, light levels, and outlook
- The impact of the proposal upon highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the conservation area, combined with unacceptable living conditions and highway safety impacts, substantially and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing provision even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of providing an additional dwelling and small economic benefits from construction were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by significant environmental and social harms to character and appearance, heritage setting, living conditions, and highway safety.
