Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the setting of Canton Orchard and the character and appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area caused by the severance of the historic curtilage and introduction of a large four-storey building at odds with the area's low-density character outweighed the moderate public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity.
The significant harm to the heritage significance and character and appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of providing 6 residential units and economic benefits in the context of a 4-year housing supply shortfall.
