Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including Rigby Hall, a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The limited visual impact of the proposed dwelling on the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, combined with the substantial shortfall in five-year housing land supply, outweighed any concerns about the development.

The benefits of housing delivery and the substantial five-year housing land supply shortfall were weighed against the limited effect on the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, with the balance tipping decisively in favour of the proposal.
