Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including on a non-designated heritage asset, with particular regard to the loss of The Coach House
- Living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to overlooking and privacy in respect of No 38A Cross Lane, and loss of daylight or sunlight in respect of The Crofters
What decided it
The limited heritage significance of the Coach House and its poor structural condition, when weighed against the provision of a sympathetic replacement dwelling and the absence of significant harm to neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
