Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of Primley House

What decided it

The significant detrimental impact on the setting of the Grade II listed building Primley House, which outweighs the modest public benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a location where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building, weighted heavily in favour of conservation, outweighed the modest public benefits of housing delivery and economic growth.
