Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the De Vere Conservation Area
  • Effect on highway safety conditions

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the designated conservation area and create unacceptable highway safety conditions, with insufficient public benefit to outweigh these harms.

Plan policies cited: CD1 (Context and Character), CD2 (Design Quality, Character and Growth), CD4 (Heritage Assets – Conservation Areas), CD10 (Small-scale Alterations and Additions), CD15 (Views), TR6 (Active Travel), TR8 (Car Parking)
