Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locality

What decided it

The harmful intrusive visual impact on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and Historic Park, combined with unacceptable effects on trees and green space, outweighed the housing and economic benefits of the proposal.

The modest contribution to housing supply and positive social and economic factors were outweighed by the environmental impacts and harm to the Conservation Area and Historic Park; the proposal was not reasonably termed sustainable development
