Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Church Westcote Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of nearby listed buildings
- the effect of the proposed development on the special qualities of the Cotswolds National Landscape
What decided it
The modest scale, sympathetic design, and subservient positioning of the proposed dwelling in relation to the existing built form and heritage assets, combined with the limited visual and physical incursion into the countryside, meant the development would not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, the setting of listed buildings, or the special qualities of the National Landscape.
