Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed house on the character and appearance of the Hertford Conservation Area
- the effect of noise from the proposed Air Source Heat Pump on the amenity of neighbours
- the extent to which the proposal would meet sustainability objectives
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Hertford Conservation Area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, which would not be outweighed by the provision of a single additional dwelling even with a demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
