Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to its effect on the setting of the listed buildings at Park Farm and the character and appearance of the Maresfield Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the setting of three adjacent listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area, which the Inspector found could not be outweighed by the housing benefits of the proposal.
The considerable weight of housing benefits and economic benefits was outweighed by the significant harm to heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under the Framework
