Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and that of the local area, with reference to the Sun in the Sands Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, classified as less than substantial but at the upper end of that classification, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of delivering a single dwelling in an area with a housing land supply shortfall.
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, given considerable importance and weight under section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and paragraph 215 of the Framework, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single additional dwelling and the limited economic and social benefits of its construction.
