Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of nearby listed buildings and other heritage assets
- the effect of the proposed development on aspects of archaeological interest
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with less than substantial harm to the settings of listed buildings, outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal and provided a clear reason for refusal.
The substantial harm to the conservation area and less than substantial harm to listed building settings, given great weight under the Framework, were not outweighed by the limited benefits of housing delivery, boundary wall reinstatement, design quality, and archaeological investigation.
