Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the scheme achieved an exemplary standard of design causing no harm to the character and appearance of the area or to the setting and significance of designated heritage assets.

having found no harm to character, appearance or heritage assets and full compliance with the development plan and the Framework, the Inspector concluded there were no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify a decision contrary to the development plan, so no countervailing harms required balancing against the scheme's benefits
