Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Nordelph Conservation Area (CA)
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
What decided it
The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the significance of a non-designated heritage asset and the character of the Conservation Area, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling, and the absence of adequate ecological surveys to rule out harm to protected species.
