- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it
The outline planning permission granted on appeal for up to 30 dwellings established that the principle of residential development and the general form of development were acceptable, and matters such as grassland loss and ecological mitigation were not raised as issues requiring reconsideration at reserved matters stage.
The public benefits of securing housing in line with the development plan allocation outweighed the less than substantial harm to the setting of nearby listed buildings
