Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the Grade II listed No 5 Howitts Lane, other nearby listed buildings and the St Neots Conservation Area
  • whether the proposal would be well designed and complement the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would not be well designed and would not complement the character and appearance of the area due to poor spatial relationships, overbearing impacts, privacy concerns, and an unattractive hard frontage at odds with the open character of Laurels Close.
