Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the setting of Prestbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the significance of Prestbury Conservation Area, which would not be outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling, engaged the heritage asset exception to the presumption in favour of development.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area at the lower end of the scale was weighed against the limited economic and social benefits of a single dwelling and minimal contribution to housing land supply, with the harm outweighing the benefits
