Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the heritage significance of the Burton Estates Area of Special Local Character
  • whether planning obligations relating to biodiversity are necessary and otherwise meet the relevant tests

What decided it

The proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the heritage significance of the ASLC because the new two-storey dwelling would conform to the Arts and Crafts style and scale characteristic of the area, whereas the existing bungalow does not make a positive contribution to the ASLC's special character.
