Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the developments on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the developments upon the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
- the effect of the development upon the setting of listed buildings
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of modest housing supply and uncertain heritage repair benefits, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
The less-than-substantial harm to the Conservation Area and listed building settings was weighed against limited public benefits of housing supply, economic benefits, and uncertain heritage repair; the harm was not outweighed by these benefits.
