Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the North and Middle Littleton Conservation Area and the effect of the proposal upon the setting of a listed building
- Whether the affordable housing contribution is required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade I listed Tithe Barn, which would clearly outweigh the modest public benefits of the proposal.
The harm to the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, combined with the unsustainable location outside the settlement boundary, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and affordable housing contribution.
