Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, the Summerhouse
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the Grade II listed Summerhouse through development in its setting was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme, as required by Framework policy on designated heritage assets.
The harm to the heritage significance of the Summerhouse, combined with the failure to secure necessary infrastructure contributions through a completed legal agreement, outweighed the significant benefits of delivering four additional housing units on brownfield land in a sustainable location.
