Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of the listed buildings and the preservation or enhancement of the Roydon Conservation Area
What decided it
The demolition of the historic brick lean-to building at the site entrance would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings, and the public benefits of the proposal do not outweigh this harm.
the substantial cumulative public benefits of housing delivery, economic vitality, environmental improvements and thermal efficiency were outweighed by the great weight given to the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting caused by the demolition of the historic building
