Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development would be inappropriate development in the green belt having regard to national and local policy
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and its effect upon the settings of nearby listed buildings and non-designated heritage assets
- Whether the scheme would be acceptable in respect of carbon emissions
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the settings of nearby heritage assets would not be outweighed by the modest benefits of two additional homes and other public benefits.
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the settings of nearby non-designated heritage assets outweighed the modest benefits arising from the provision of two homes, wildlife measures, and economic benefits, particularly given the great weight to be afforded to the protection of the conservation area under the Framework.
