- Inspector
- Martinson P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the provision for parking is appropriate having regard to the development plan policies and the effect on highway safety and parking stress
- the effect of the proposed development on heritage assets including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hickling Conservation Area; and the effect on the setting of the Grade II listed building
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness and special character of the Local Green Space
What decided it
The identified harm to the significance of designated heritage assets and the Local Green Space, combined with inadequate parking provision contrary to development plan policies, could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
