Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character, appearance and special interest of the Marlesford Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would introduce a modern feature (rooflights) that is absent from the local vernacular and would be particularly prominent in important views of the conservation area, causing less than substantial but unacceptable harm to its character and appearance that would not be outweighed by modest private benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SCLP11.1SCLP11.3SCLP11.5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
