Inspector: Thandi B
Postcode: WR9 7DR

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development
Whether the affordable housing contribution is required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms
The effect of the proposal upon the setting of nearby heritage assets namely listed buildings Three Wells, The Wash House and the Old Manor

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the three listed buildings, combined with the unsustainable location, outweighed the benefits of self-build housing and affordable housing contribution.

The benefits of self-build housing delivery and affordable housing contribution were outweighed by the conflict with the development strategy due to poor accessibility and the less than substantial harm to the setting of designated heritage assets.
