Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the setting of Fleet Farmhouse which is Grade II Listed, and the setting of other listed buildings in the vicinity of the appeal site

What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate more than a 3.83 year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance, and the significant weight given to housing and affordable housing benefits outweighed the low-level less than substantial heritage harm and moderate character harm.
the significant public benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing, self-build plots and economic benefits outweighed the low-end less than substantial harm to heritage assets, moderate harm to character and appearance, and limited harm from conflict with the spatial strategy, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
