Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location for the proposed dwellings is appropriate given local and national planning policy
- The effect of the development on heritage assets and the Staunton/Corse Locally Valued Landscape (LVL)
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area and the setting of the listed building Greenway, which are designated heritage assets requiring great weight in the planning balance, cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing two dwellings, particularly where the heritage policies in the Framework provide a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d).
The harm to designated heritage assets (conservation area and listed building setting) to which great weight must be attached outweighs the limited benefits of providing two dwellings towards housing supply, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
