Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings Rose Cottage (6 School Lane) and Swift Cottage (7 School Lane)

What decided it

The development would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the setting of the listed buildings, and would preserve their significance in accordance with statutory duty and development plan policy.

The benefits of three additional dwellings contributing to housing delivery, combined with the absence of harm to character, appearance and heritage assets, outweighed the limited weight attributed to other matters raised against the development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy BE16
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 189Paragraph 200
