Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings, including the setting of the Grade II listed building, known as 'Oak Cottage'
- whether safe access and escape routes can be provided to the proposed development in the event of flooding
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in respect of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing supply and economic support.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing supply, support for local services, and demolition of the unsympathetic garage.
