Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the Kibworth Harcourt Conservation Area and the non-designated heritage asset (The City)
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 5 The City, Knoll Cottage 8 The City and 14 Carlton Road, with particular reference to outlook, sunlight and daylight
- Ecology and protected species
What decided it
The less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the non-designated heritage asset and the character of the conservation area, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the limited public benefits of the scheme.
The less-than-substantial harm to the non-designated heritage asset and character of the conservation area, and the unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions, were not outweighed by the limited public benefits, the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, or the self-build and economic benefits of the proposal.
