Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development on heritage assets, specifically the Southwell Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed building at 58 Westhorpe
What decided it
The existing colour of the gates is more unsympathetic to the heritage assets than their height, and repainting them in a suitable colour would overcome the reasons for the enforcement notice and comply with development plan policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Core Policy 14Development Management Policy DM9Policy DH1Policy DH3
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.
