Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would result in the loss of an important open area
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Sherborne Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The less than significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings, when weighed against the public benefit of one additional dwelling, was decisive in dismissing the appeal.
The less than significant harm to the significance of the heritage asset outweighed the public benefit of creating an additional dwelling at a time when the Council cannot demonstrate an adequate housing land supply
