Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Thriplow Conservation Area (1975)
- The impact of the proposed development upon protected trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Thriplow Conservation Area, to which very substantial weight was afforded, outweighed the moderate weight given to the public benefit of providing one self-build dwelling to help meet the District's shortfall in self-build provision.
The moderate weight afforded to the public benefit of self-build provision did not overcome the very substantial weight attached to the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance
