Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to access to services and facilities
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Hunston Conservation Area and preserve the setting of the nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets, when weighed against the limited public benefits under Framework Paragraph 202, provided a clear reason for refusal under Paragraph 11d(i) notwithstanding the out-of-date development plan policies.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed buildings, afforded great weight under Framework Paragraph 199, outweighed the modest public benefits of one self-build dwelling and limited economic support, resulting in dismissal despite the out-of-date development plan policies.
