Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Stainland Conservation Area, and on the setting of the nearby listed building, known as the former Bull and Dog Public House

What decided it

The careful design approach of the proposed dwelling, which reflects the established character of the street through its scale, traditional detailing, stepped ridge and modest set-back, means it would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the Stainland Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby listed building.
