Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
  • The significance of Hartford Conservation Area and the significance and setting of nearby listed buildings at 4-6 Church Lane and the Church of All Saints
  • The living conditions of future occupiers of the development, with regard to internal and external levels of light

What decided it

The proposed development's sympathetic architectural design, retention of mature boundary screening, and adequate living conditions for future occupiers, combined with preservation of the conservation area and listed building settings, outweighed concerns about loss of green space.
