Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of the nearby Listed buildings at Dottens Farm
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Highway Safety
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the Listed buildings) was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing two dwellings, particularly given the acute heritage importance identified in paragraph 11d)(i) of the Framework.
The modest public benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contributions were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets and the unacceptable highway safety impacts
