Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the Moor Park Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 79 and 83 Wolsey Road with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and unacceptably affect the privacy of neighbouring occupiers, with no public benefits to justify the less than substantial heritage harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP1CP12DM1DM3DM6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
