Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Station Road Conservation Area
- whether the impacts of the proposal would be satisfactorily mitigated
- the effect of the proposed air source heat pump on visual amenity and noise
What decided it
The proposal would cause high degree of less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Station Road Conservation Area through its excessive height and jarring mansard roof design, which public benefits including housing provision and sustainable location could not outweigh.
