Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with due regard to the location of the site in the Round Hill CA
- whether the future occupiers of the proposed development would have acceptable living conditions
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Round Hill Conservation Area, combined with poor quality accommodation for future occupiers, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of windfall housing delivery.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and the poor quality accommodation for future occupiers were not outweighed by the windfall housing contribution and other benefits, despite the significant shortfall in housing land supply.
