Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Caldy Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Caldy Conservation Area due to the close proximity of the three dwellings within narrow plots, which would be out of character with the low-density pattern of the area, and this harm to the designated heritage asset outweighs the benefits of the scheme.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply, environmental improvements, tree and biodiversity enhancements, and economic and social benefits.
