Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Little Rissington Conservation Area, and the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area and the setting of Bobble Farmhouse, to which great weight must be given under the statutory duties and national policy, outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets, to which great weight was given in accordance with statutory duties and national policy, outweighed the limited public benefits of housing supply contribution, economic benefits and biodiversity gains.
