Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the Nether Edge Conservation Area, with particular regard to the proposal's design
What decided it
The proposed design would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh the great weight that must be given to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the limited public benefits of providing an additional dwelling and achieving Passivhaus standards; the harm outweighed the benefits.
