Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of heritage assets within the Old Basing Conservation Area, having particular regard to the setting of Church Lane House; and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the character of the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest public benefit of providing a single additional dwelling.
The modest public benefit of housing delivery was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the character of the Conservation Area, which must attract considerable importance and weight
