Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve the settings of listed buildings adjacent to the site
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the settings of the listed buildings, which attracted considerable importance and weight, could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling in an area with a demonstrable housing shortfall.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed buildings through failure to preserve their settings, which attracted considerable importance and weight, outweighed the significant weight given to helping meet housing demand in the face of a shortfall in the Council's 5-year supply, because the scale of social and economic benefits from a single dwelling would be limited.
