Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wasperton Conservation Area
Whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Warwick District Local Plan 2017 and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The development would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance through loss of rural character and hedgerow fragmentation, and this harm could not be justified by the claimed self-build housing benefits or other modest benefits, particularly given the site's location outside the defined village boundary and poor accessibility to services.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy BE1Policy HE1Policy H1Policy H15
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 80Paragraph 199
