Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Maldon Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building at 47 High Street
- the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, natural light and the amount and quality of outdoor amenity space
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
- European designated nature conservation sites
What decided it
The cumulative harms to character and appearance, living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, and failure to mitigate impacts on European designated sites outweighed the limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling.
