Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the special historic interest of heritage assets, including nearby listed buildings, with particular regard to their setting and whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Ayton Conservation Area
- Whether or not the proposed development would occupy an appropriate location for new dwellings, with specific regard to the Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets and the Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, combined with conflict with the development plan policies.
The public benefits of the proposal, including 50% affordable housing, public open space and social and economic benefits, did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade I, II* and II listed buildings and the Conservation Area.
