Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Topsham Conservation Area

What decided it

The great weight required by the Framework and Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to be given to the conservation of the designated heritage asset could not be outweighed by the collective benefits of the scheme.

Plan policies cited: Policy 17 of the Exeter Core Strategy (2012), Policy C1 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review (2005), Policy DG1 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review (2005)
