Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garages on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, Dovecot, and the effect on the Bassingbourn Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance, could not be justified by the private benefit of secure vehicle storage, as the public benefits were insufficient to outweigh the harm.
