Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Marton Village and The Grove conservation area
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 61C The Grove, with particular reference to outlook
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 63 The Grove, with particular reference to overlooking of the rear garden
- Whether the proposed development would increase the likelihood of flooding in the area
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, assessed as less than substantial but of great weight, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme.
