Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the adjacent 'Arnmore House' as a non-designated heritage asset, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Dean Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the setting and significance of Arnmore House as a non-designated heritage asset and the character and appearance of the Dean Park Conservation Area, as the new buildings would be substantially obscured from public views by distance and intervening landscaping.
The benefits of residential development were weighed against the heritage considerations; the Inspector found no harm to the non-designated heritage asset or conservation area, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not need to be applied, and the appeal was allowed.
