Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would enhance or preserve the character and appearance of the area, including the Lawford conservation area and the setting of Grade II Listed Building 'The Kings Arms'
What decided it
The proposal would result in a harsh and prominent boundary treatment that would be harmful to both the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the private benefits did not outweigh this considerable harm to heritage assets.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP7PPL8PPL9
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 192Paragraph 196
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
