Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Thorney Hedge Conservation Area
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to outlook and noise
- whether the proposal would include appropriate measures to meet carbon reduction and sustainable construction objectives
What decided it
The proposal would cause demonstrable harm to the character and significance of the Thorney Hedge Conservation Area by disrupting the established pattern of rear garden spaciousness, and would fail to provide adequate outlook for future occupiers, with these harms not outweighed by the modest benefit of a single housing unit.
