Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Doddington Conservation Area and its setting
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of 35 New Street with regard to amenity space provision
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Doddington Conservation Area caused by backland development that would breach the settlement boundary and remove important open space identified in the Conservation Area Character Appraisal, combined with harm to living conditions through inadequate amenity space provision, outweighed the public benefits of the proposal.
