Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the setting of the Tower House, a grade II listed building
  • Whether the proposed contributions to facilitate community infrastructure are justified, necessary and legally compliant

What decided it

The absence of a five-year housing land supply, which engaged the tilted balance in favour of the development, combined with the limited harm to character and appearance and the outweighing of less than substantial heritage harm by housing delivery benefits.

the less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building was outweighed by the benefit arising from providing 30 dwellings in an area with identified housing need
