Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would conflict with the Council's spatial strategy
- its effect on highway safety
- whether it would cause harm to the significance of designated heritage assets
- its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether its impact on infrastructure would be addressed
- and, if any harm would arise from any of the above, whether that would be outweighed by public benefits, or a decision contrary to the development plan justified by other material considerations
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed church, conservation area and scheduled monument, together with the unacceptable harm to highway safety, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.
the public benefits of housing delivery, economic gain, environmental improvements and recreation provision did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to heritage assets or the harm to highway safety and countryside character, so the balance tipped against the proposal
