Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the Residential Area of Special Character

What decided it

The subdivision of the plot would harmfully depart from the generous plot widths which are a fundamental characteristic of the Conservation Area, and the resulting harm to the heritage asset outweighs the social and economic benefits of providing additional dwellings.
