Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Stoke Albany Conservation Area, and in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance, combined with insufficient public benefits to outweigh that harm and failure to demonstrate biodiversity net gain, rendered the proposal contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to overcome this conflict.
