Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Bentley Conservation Area
- the effect on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring residential properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance and outlook
What decided it
The siting, orientation and access configuration of Plot 2, which would fragment the open landscaped area and introduce conspicuous access arrangements discordant with the established pattern of development, would cause lasting harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area that outweighs the limited benefit of two additional dwellings.
the limited public benefit of delivering two dwellings was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the lasting harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
