Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stroud Industrial Heritage Conservation Area
What decided it
The public benefits of the proposal, including contribution to housing land supply and self-build provision, were insufficient to provide clear and convincing justification for the identified less than substantial harm to the character, appearance and significance of the conservation area and the intrinsic beauty of the countryside.
The significant weight given to the self-build housing contribution and moderate weight to general housing supply were outweighed by the great weight required to be given to conservation of the heritage asset and the harm to the character and appearance of the area and conservation area significance
