Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Spalding Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy, light and outlook
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets (the Conservation Area and listed buildings) which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling.
