Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Stapleton and Frome Valley Conservation Area and trees
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for new residential development, having regard to the development plan and access to services, facilities and public transport
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Stapleton and Frome Valley Conservation Area, including the effect on trees, was not outweighed by the limited housing benefit and therefore engaged the heritage exception to the tilted balance.
the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area of considerable and important weight was not outweighed by the moderate weight of housing supply benefit and limited weight of social and economic benefits
