Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including heritage assets therein
What decided it
The additional dwelling in the appeal proposal compared to the approved fallback scheme would create proportionally significant increases in activity and development spread that would undermine the quiet, secluded character of the conservation area, and this harm outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
