Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Southwold Conservation Area and the settings of nearby listed buildings
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The tasteful design incorporating sympathetic materials and detailing that positively responds to the local vernacular, combined with the retention of suitable spacing between buildings and acceptable effects on neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
