Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the house would provide satisfactory living conditions having regard to outlook and access to natural light
- the effect of the development on trees
- the effect on the setting and the significance of The Old House, a grade II listed building
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Medbourne Conservation Area and its effect on the CA's significance
What decided it
The modest benefits of adding a single dwelling to the housing stock were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the listed building and the conservation area, to which great weight must be attached.
the modest benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the harm caused to the setting and significance of the listed building and the detriment to the character, appearance and significance of the conservation area
