Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the scheme would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- the effect of the scheme upon the living conditions of nearby residents, having particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The scheme would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the settings of listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area, which would not be outweighed by the modest benefits of providing a single dwelling, and would also cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of nearby residents through overbearing impact.
