Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 9-15 Tip Hill with regard to privacy and outlook, and whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy
- Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ottery St Mary Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area, when weighed against the modest public benefits of a single dwelling, failed to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 208 of the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset was weighed against the modest social, economic, and environmental public benefits of a single self-build dwelling; the great weight afforded to conservation of the heritage asset outweighed the moderate cumulative weight of benefits.
