Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Sheepwash Conservation Area and on the setting of a nearby listed building
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the local tourism strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby neighbours with regard to privacy and parking arrangements
What decided it
The proposal would introduce unsympathetic materials and dormer fenestration harmful to the conservation area's character, and would create unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring private garden space, conflicting with the development plan with no outweighing considerations.
