Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Great Offley Conservation Area, and the setting of The Lawns, a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, particularly the eroding of the open character that contributes to the setting of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, outweighed the modest public benefits of housing supply and self-build provision.
