Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed, having regard to the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of Plot 3, with particular regard to privacy, and Plot 4, with particular regard to daylight
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 24 Honey Hill, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- The impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including in respect to a protected tree
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or the appearance of the Fenstanton Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of nearby listed buildings
- Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for waste and recycling management
What decided it
The conflict with development plan policies regarding location in countryside, living conditions, character and appearance, heritage assets, and waste management, combined with the failure to demonstrate that public benefits would outweigh the less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets, necessitated dismissal of the appeal.
