Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, with particular reference to the design of the dwellings and the effect on an adjacent Ash tree
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future residents, with particular reference to internal living space
- whether a planning obligation is necessary to make the development acceptable, with particular reference to the provision of car parking
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and would not provide adequate living conditions for future residents due to insufficient internal living space and storage.
