Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Fiskerton Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed garage's significant scale, height and forward positioning would make it appear intrusive and incongruous within the conservation area, dominating the appearance of the front of the property and the period building to which it would be attached, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Fiskerton Cum Morton Neighbourhood Plan Policy FCM5Core Strategy Core Policies 9 and 10DPD Policy DM5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 208
