Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the settings of the High Roding Conservation Area, and of other nearby heritage assets
What decided it
The absence of any material harm to heritage assets, combined with the District's shortfall in 5-year housing land supply, engaged the tilted balance and made the housing benefits decisive.
The conflict with the out-of-date Policy S7 was outweighed by the combined weight of the housing delivery benefits and the absence of any substantiated harm to heritage assets or other material considerations
