Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area including the Newport Conservation Area (NCA)
  • the effect of the development upon the setting of Grade II Listed Buildings
  • whether the development represents an acceptable form of development having regard to policies concerned with flood risk

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Newport Conservation Area and the setting of Grade II Listed Buildings, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of four dwellings.

The significant harm to designated heritage assets would not be outweighed by the cumulative public benefits of housing provision, economic benefit, and ecological gain; the tilted balance did not apply because heritage protection policies provided a clear reason for refusal.
