Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve a Grade II registered park and garden, Well Hall Park and Garden, and any features of special historic interest that it possesses
The extent to which the proposal would preserve the significance of a non-designated heritage asset, Keepers Cottage
The effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade I listed Church of St Margaret, the Grade II* listed Wellvale House, and the Grade II listed buildings known as 'Coach House to Wellvale House' and 'Gates and Piers to Park, Beside Walled Garden'

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the significance of the non-designated heritage asset and cause less than substantial harm to the registered park and garden, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 130, 174, 197, 199, 200, 202, 203

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
