Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on Eskdale, a non-designated heritage asset, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Knutsford Legh Road Conservation Area
- Trees
- The living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings Legh Lodge and Hazelfield, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause moderate harm to the setting and significance of the non-designated heritage asset and to the character and appearance of the conservation area by disrupting the established pattern of low-density development, and the public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
