Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the setting of the adjoining conservation area
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of private outdoor living space
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the Darley Abbey Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling, and which engaged the exception at paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.
the harm to the setting of the conservation area, characterised as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of delivering a single house and modest economic benefits, and the heritage exception at paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework applied to displace the presumption in favour of sustainable development
Framework references: 11, 135, 212, 213, 215
