Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hartley Wintney Conservation Area and its effect on the significance of Cedars House, a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The limited weight of the private and public benefits of the proposal would be substantially outweighed by the considerable importance and weight of the harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, such that Policy S4 of the Framework does not point to permission being granted.

The limited benefits of additional secure covered parking, investment in a heritage asset and economic benefits during construction, which attract limited weight, are substantially outweighed by the considerable importance and weight of the harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, such that the proposal fails the Policy S4 test.
