Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lyndhurst Conservation Area, including its effect on the significance of the host property at 13 Forest Gardens, a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The substantial scale and mass of the proposed outbuilding would harm the significance of the heritage assets and would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the modest public benefits do not outweigh the great weight that should be given to the asset's conservation.

- Development plan policies
- DP2DP18DP37SP16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215Paragraph 216
