Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposal, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of The Church of All Saints', Horsford Hall and Little Orchard, and its effect on the surviving parkland associated with Horsford Hall as a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the settings of the Church, Horsford Hall and Little Orchard, together with significant harm to the parkland as a non-designated heritage asset, was not outweighed by the proposal's public benefits, providing a clear reason for refusal.
The limited to moderate heritage harm to three listed buildings and significant harm to the non-designated parkland asset outweighed the moderate benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery and the limited benefits of open space, economic activity and connectivity improvements, tipping the balance against the proposal.
