Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Garboldisham Conservation Area
  • Whether the development would provide its occupants with satisfactory living conditions with particular regard to internal space and ceiling height

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the Garboldisham Conservation Area caused by the poor design of the proposed dwelling, combined with its failure to meet space standards for occupant living conditions, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing a single self-build dwelling.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, which were of limited scale from a single dwelling.

Framework references: 196, 11
