Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the village, including with regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Scawby Conservation Area (CA).
What decided it
The significant harm to the open and distinctive character and appearance of Scawby, particularly the loss of openness within the Area of Amenity Importance, was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.
The significant harm to the village's character and appearance (given substantial weight) outweighed the moderate weight given to housing and affordable housing benefits and the minor weight given to other smaller-scale benefits, tipping the balance against the proposal.
