Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Uppingham Conservation Area
What decided it
The black slate composite tiles would appear unduly prominent and out of character with the host building and conservation area, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS19CS22SP15SP20
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
