Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of No 53 Haughton Green, a grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the Haughton-Le-Skerne Conservation Area and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The permanent and irreversible less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal in an area with a demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
The limited benefits of housing contribution, economic benefits during construction, and site tidying would not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building.
