Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in a Local Green Space
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to the size of the garden space and the amount of direct sunlight it would receive
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including trees and landscape character
  • whether the proposal would preserve and enhance the Cliddesden Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting and significance of nearby listed buildings
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the area, the Conservation Area, and the setting of listed buildings, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants regarding daylight and sunlight, would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
