Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the housing would be appropriate in this location with regard to having convenient accessibility to services through sustainable modes
  • its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether this would preserve the setting of the nearby grade II listed Brickwall Farmhouse
  • providing safe and suitable means of access

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting and special interest of the listed Brickwall Farmhouse, when weighed against the moderate public benefits of the scheme under Framework paragraph 202, provided a clear reason for refusal that engaged paragraph 11 d i) and meant the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not override the development plan conflict.

the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset's setting outweighed the moderate public benefits of housing delivery and community vitality, and the development plan conflict was not overridden by the tilted balance
