Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bishopstrow Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of the Council's spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
- whether the proposed development should provide a 10% increase in biodiversity net gain (BNG)
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Bishopstrow Conservation Area, combined with the absence of public benefits that would outweigh that harm, provides a strong reason to dismiss the appeal.
the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance outweighed the limited public benefits of a single new dwelling, economic benefits, and sustainable design features
