Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Outer Loudwater Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on protected trees

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through its disproportionate massing and width, and the limited public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
