Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the development site, the surrounding land and the setting of Walton village, with particular regard to the Walton Conservation Area and spatial distinction of the historic core of Walton
- The effect of the proposed development on existing on-site trees and the open and rural landscape
What decided it
The planning benefits of the development in terms of sustainability, local economy, provision of local services and facilities, and alignment with neighbourhood plan objectives clearly and demonstrably outweighed the limited harm to the conservation area setting.
