Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Dartmouth Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would significantly and harmfully undermine a key aspect of how Sonny Heights has been designed to relate to its conservation area setting by obscuring an important framed view of St Anne's Church, and the minor public benefits do not outweigh the considerable heritage harm.
