Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Calverton Conservation Area (CCA), and the effects of the development on its setting, including with regard to mature trees
  • Whether the development would accord with national guidance and legislation with regard to protected species
  • The effect of the development on the setting of the Grade II* listed St Wilfrid's Church and the Grade II listed Corner Cottage

What decided it

The cumulative harm to the conservation area's character and appearance through loss of green space, mature trees, and incongruous design, combined with the failure to provide adequate protected species surveys before determination, outweighed the modest public benefits of retail and housing provision.
