Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building, The Six Bells Public House, and the extent to which the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Felsham Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Felsham Conservation Area through its incongruous cul-de-sac arrangement and frontage parking on an open site, and the limited public benefits could not outweigh the considerable harm to the designated heritage asset.
