Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on designated and non-designated heritage assets
- the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- highway safety
- the integrity of European sites
- the provision of public open space
What decided it
The significant weight to be attached to the less than substantial harm to the setting of the designated heritage asset Millington House could not be outweighed by the modest social and economic benefits of the proposal.
The modest social and economic benefits of providing a net increase of 3 dwellings did not outweigh the significant weight to be attached to the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset, and the conflicts with the Framework in terms of heritage and habitats sites provided clear reasons for refusal.
