Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, and to what extent it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with regard to the relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the historic settlement pattern, which is in conflict with national decision-making policies HE6 and DP3 of the Framework, substantially outweighs the benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
the benefits of approving the development proposal (housing supply and economic benefits) were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on the character and appearance of the conservation area and the historic settlement pattern, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
