Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, including heritage assets and landscape character
- Whether the proposal is acceptable when regard is paid to highway safety and vehicle parking and turning
- Whether the proposal makes acceptable provision for biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and heritage assets through poor design, and would create unacceptable highway safety impacts on North Street through inadequate site access arrangements, which together amount to material conflict with the development plan that is not outweighed by housing benefits.
