Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is suitably located for a new dwelling having regard to local and national planning policy and the accessibility of services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of a nearby listed building
What decided it
The conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy, unsustainable location requiring reliance on private motor vehicles, harm to rural character and appearance, and less than substantial but uncompensated harm to the setting of the listed building together outweighed the public benefits of housing provision in a context of housing land supply shortfall.
the public benefits of housing provision and economic benefits were outweighed by the conflicts with the spatial strategy, unsustainable travel patterns, harm to character and appearance, and harm to the setting of the listed building, with heritage asset protection providing a clear reason for refusal under the tilted balance
