Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Priors Marston Conservation Area and the existing building, as a non-designated heritage asset
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to daylight, outlook, space standards and privacy
What decided it
The proposal would appear incongruously cramped within the spacious rural village character and would harmfully detract from the prevailing pattern of development, having an unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area that outweighs other considerations.
