Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwellings would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the South Witham Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on an area of informal open space
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the Conservation Area, when weighed against the modest public benefits of the proposal, was not outweighed, and the proposal therefore failed to preserve the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.
the less than substantial but considerable harm to the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of landscape enhancement and housing provision for older and disabled residents
