Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Wray Common Conservation Area
What decided it
The lack of clear detail in the window schedules meant there was no evidence the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the very minor public benefits did not outweigh the great weight required for conservation of the designated heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy NHE9Policy DES1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 213Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
