Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with due regard to the location of the site in the Kirby-Le-Soken Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would be a suitable form of backland development having regard to the relevant development plan policies
- whether or not the development would be in a suitable location having regard to its position within the countryside, its accessibility, and the overall spatial strategy for the area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance, combined with failures to meet backland development policy criteria, could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
the adverse impacts on the designated heritage asset, character of the area and neighbouring occupiers' living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply and economic activity
