Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the significance of Clifford Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the conservation area, assessed as towards the lower end of less than substantial, carried considerable weight that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing delivery, parking provision, biodiversity net gain and economic benefits.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area, to which considerable weight was attached, was not outweighed by the moderate weight afforded to housing supply benefits and the minor to modest weight of parking, landscaping and biodiversity benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
