Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East Stoke Conservation Area
  • Whether the development would accord with local policies and national guidance with regard to community assets
  • The effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to safe and suitable access

What decided it

The development would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area through loss of historic fabric and incongruity of scale, and would result in the loss of a community asset, which together outweighed the minor public benefit of one modest dwelling.
