What decided it

The public benefits of the proposal could not be weighed against potential harm to heritage assets due to absence of necessary assessment information.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 194
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
