Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the personal circumstances, need for the proposed development, and the consequences of a dismissed appeal for the appellant's family, having regard to their living conditions
- whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to the Council's strategy for development
- whether the proposal would be an outstanding or innovative design which promotes high levels of sustainability, and fits in with the overall form and layout of its surroundings, having regard to the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the significance of the Stainton and Thornton Conservation Area, through development within its setting
What decided it
The high level of less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area through development within its setting, combined with the failure to achieve outstanding or innovative design fitting with surroundings, could not be outweighed by the personal circumstances and moderate public benefits identified.
