Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ruddington Conservation Area
- Appeal B: whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ruddington Conservation Area; the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers/potential occupiers of existing neighbouring properties, specifically numbers 2, 6 and 10 The Green and 40 High Street, in particular whether the proposal would be overbearing and/or reduce light, and/or affect privacy; whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Ruddington Conservation Area and the overbearing impact on the living conditions of occupiers of number 6 The Green, to which great weight and significant weight respectively were attached, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
