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
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location, having regard to flood risk
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or the appearance of the Asfordby Conservation Area
- the impact of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset (Asfordby Conservation Area), and the limited public benefits of one dwelling would not outweigh this harm as required by Framework paragraph 215, combined with conflicts with development plan policies on location, flood risk and highway safety.
Framework references: 212, 215
