Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to the spatial strategy in the development plan and the accessibility of services and facilities
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Luckington Conservation Area
What decided it
The unambiguous adverse impacts to the conservation area, in conflict with Framework policies protecting designated heritage assets, engaged paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework, removing the presumption in favour of sustainable development and making the conflict with the development plan determinative.
The modest benefits of one new dwelling, limited economic contribution, and reuse of previously developed land were outweighed by the great weight given to harm to the conservation area's significance and the conflict with the spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies of the development plan.
