Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The substantial reduction in height of the traditional boundary wall would significantly diminish its positive contribution to the Conservation Area's character and appearance, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area, given considerable weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing delivery and heritage conservation measures, even under the tilted balance of paragraph 11(d) of the Framework
