Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Haddon Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the West Haddon Conservation Area caused by the loss of open ground that contributes positively to the settlement's rural character and dispersed form significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The limited public benefit of providing one additional house in a Secondary Service Village is significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the West Haddon Conservation Area
