Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Grassendale and Cressington Parks Conservation Area
What decided it
The very modest scale of the development, involving only a small section of hedge removal and a modest-width driveway, would not affect the verdant character of the Conservation Area or be overly evident in views along South Road, thereby preserving the character and appearance of the heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HD1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
