Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the nearby listed buildings
- the effect of the proposed development on the safe use of the highway
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the listed cottages, identified as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts, outweighed the moderate benefit of one additional dwelling in an area with a two-year housing land supply shortfall.
The considerable harm to the setting of listed buildings and unacceptable highway safety impacts outweighed the moderate benefit of housing supply contribution and limited benefits from employment and local spending, with the heritage asset protection providing a clear reason to refuse under the tilted balance framework
