Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the appeal proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Beadnell Conservation Area, with particular regard to its density and appearance
  • The effect on the qualifying features and integrity of the NCSPA, NCRS, LSPA and LRS

What decided it

The loss of the existing building of negligible architectural merit and the preservation of the conservation area's character and appearance through the proposed development subject to design conditions, combined with effective mitigation of habitat impacts through a Construction Environmental Management Plan and dog-proof fencing.
