Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Norwell Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on trees and biodiversity
- The effect of the proposed development on flood risk
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's scale, design, and siting would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Norwell Conservation Area, causing less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset that could not be justified by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
