Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of Farnham Park
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The great weight required by the NPPF for conservation of the Grade II listed Historic Park and Garden, combined with the less than substantial harm to its setting and the out-of-character development, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic gain.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic gain were outweighed by the great weight afforded to conservation of the Grade II listed heritage asset and the moderate harm to character and appearance, resulting in dismissal.
