Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lymington Conservation Area, with particular reference to the historic burgage plot
- The effect on the setting of 24 High Street, which is a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The significant heritage harm caused by breaching the historic burgage plot boundary walls for parking and pedestrian access, which was found to outweigh the housing and other benefits of the scheme.
The benefits of housing delivery, sustainable location and wall repair did not outweigh the significant less-than-substantial heritage harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, so under the tilted balance the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits and the appeal was dismissed.
