Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the site (a non-designated heritage asset) and the locality, with special attention as to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Horsley Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would unacceptably erode the spacious, undeveloped green character of the conservation area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, and the public benefits of the development did not outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 212, 213, 215, 216
