Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Buckland Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
- whether the proposed development would accord with the development plan strategy for the location of housing with regard to the loss of an employment site
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building settings outweighed the limited public benefits of housing delivery and removal of the employment use.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and setting of listed buildings, carrying substantial weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of two dwellings, temporary construction benefits, and securing optimal viable use.
