Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether it would preserve the setting of listed buildings, including The Church of St John The Baptist, and The Old Vicarage, the Chest Tombs and the Lych Gate
  • biodiversity interests
  • flood risk, in particular related to surface water drainage
  • housing mix

What decided it

The failure to preserve the setting of The Church of St John The Baptist, a Grade I listed building of high significance, combined with unacceptable effects on character and appearance and inadequate biodiversity assessment, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic development.

the significant harm to character and appearance, heritage setting and biodiversity interests outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply, economic development and rural community support
