Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting of Much Wenlock Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
  • the effect of proposed unit 1 on the living conditions of the occupants of No 2 and No 3 Bourton Road, with respect to outlook
  • whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed, with particular regard to housing delivery in Much Wenlock

What decided it

The proposal failed on multiple substantial grounds including undemonstrated highway safety, less than substantial harm to listed building settings that was not outweighed by public benefits, unacceptable overbearing impact on neighbouring residential amenity, and location outside the settlement boundary in countryside where housing delivery could be achieved through other means.
