Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Meath Green Lane Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed development would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Meath Green Lane Conservation Area through the introduction of urban features close to the road and erosion of the spacious pattern of large dwellings on generous plots, which harm would not be outweighed by the minor public benefits.
