Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the scheme on the settings of the Honiton Conservation Area and the Grade II listed St Paul's Church
- The effect of the proposal on business and employment opportunities in the area
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the scheme would cause no harm to the settings of the conservation area and listed church, and no harm to business and employment opportunities, meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
With no harm identified to heritage assets or to business and employment opportunities, and clear benefits from specialist older persons' housing on a suitable brownfield site, the balance favoured allowing the scheme, which accorded with the development plan and NPPF as a whole.
