Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the provision of existing community facilities having regard to relevant development plan policy
  • Whether the Chilton Tavern is a non-designated heritage asset
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether satisfactory living conditions would result for adjoining and future occupiers
  • The effect on pedestrian safety

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and living conditions of adjoining occupiers, combined with the feasibility of devising a revised scheme to address these objections, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing benefits.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of five additional dwellings and use of brownfield land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
