Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition no 2 is necessary in its current form, having regard to the effect of the proposal upon the significance of the Ashwell Conservation Area, including its setting and the effect upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The sympathetic design, siting, and materials of the proposed dwelling would preserve the character and appearance of the Ashwell Conservation Area and its setting, making the strict condition requiring compliance with the original approved plans unnecessary.
