Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of 5 Pepper Lane and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stanton-by-Dale Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully reduce the positive contribution the appeal property makes to the character and appearance of the Stanton-by-Dale Conservation Area, conflicting with Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the development plan, with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
