Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, including the Edwinstowe Conservation Area
whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to privacy and the provision of private amenity space

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset, combined with inadequate private amenity space and unmitigated privacy concerns for future occupants, outweighed the limited public benefit of providing an additional dwelling unit.
