Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the setting of the Seaton Conservation Area and a Grade II listed building (Highfield House)
What decided it
The development would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and Conservation Area, and this harm would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of private garden provision and parking, particularly given the claimed highway safety benefit was not substantiated.
