Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the historic environment (Appeals A and B)
  • The effects of the proposal and its scale on the settlement and its setting (Appeals A and B)
  • The effects of the proposal in relation to drainage (Appeal A)

What decided it

The harm to the setting of the Grade I listed Church and Conservation Area, characterised as less than substantial but not outweighed by the benefits of housing and public parking, combined with additional harm to the settlement's rural setting and the absence of sustainable drainage measures.

The benefits of housing provision (including affordable homes) and a public car park were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade I listed Church and Conservation Area, the erosion of the rural character of the settlement edge, and the failure to demonstrate sustainable drainage systems; the totality of harm was not outweighed by the acknowledged benefits.
