Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the setting of Ivy Cottage, a grade II listed building, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Norwell Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale and siting of the proposed store would introduce a larger solid structure in an open setting that would draw the eye away from the heritage asset and harm both the setting of the listed building and the appearance of the conservation area, with private benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
