Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Collingbourne Ducis Conservation Area
The effect of the proposal upon archaeological interests in the area

What decided it

The moderate harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset (conservation area) caused by the proposal's discordant design, combined with unresolved archaeological concerns due to insufficient assessment, outweighed the limited public benefits.

The moderate harm to the conservation area's significance was weighed against minor public benefits (housing supply increase, ecological and landscape benefits, local economic contribution); the harm was not outweighed by those benefits.
