Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the provision of sports and recreation facilities
- The effect of the proposal 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 I listed building, Church of All Saints, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the All Saints Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would make adequate parking provision, with reference to residential amenity and the safe operation of the highway
- The effect of noise and light pollution on residential amenity and biodiversity
- The effect of the proposal on trees
What decided it
The moderate less than substantial harm to the Grade I listed building's setting and conservation area character, combined with inadequate parking provision and adverse impacts on residential amenity, noise, lighting and trees, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
