Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Four Oaks Estate Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building 9 Hartopp Road
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, when weighed against the public benefits of the scheme, could not justify the proposal in accordance with the Framework's heritage protection policies.
The public benefits of housing supply and sustainability features were outweighed by the great weight to be attached to the conservation of the designated heritage assets, resulting in the dismissal of the appeal
