Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Winchmore Hill Green Conservation Area including the effect on trees, and on the setting of the nearby listed St Paul's Church
The effect on biodiversity

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, to which great weight must be given under the Framework, was not outweighed by the housing and sustainability benefits of the proposal.

The significant benefits of housing delivery and sustainability in a location with good services and transport links were outweighed by the great weight to be given to the conservation of the designated heritage assets, notwithstanding that the harm was less than substantial.
