Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on playing field provision and open space
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Linthorpe Conservation Area
What decided it
The development resulted in material loss of playing field and open space contrary to development plan policies and paragraph 104 of the Framework, with no sufficient public benefits to outweigh the identified harm to the conservation area.
Framework references: 104, 215, 232
Plan policies cited: Policy E7, Policy DC1, Policy CS4, Policy CS5, Policy NE3
