Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the setting of the Green Man public house Grade II listed building
- whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking
- whether the proposal would provide adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The public benefits of housing delivery in an area with acute housing land supply shortfall (2.3 years) and efficient use of previously-developed land outweighed the less than substantial harm to the listed building setting.
the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Green Man listed building was outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery, use of brownfield land, and economic benefits, with the Framework not indicating permission should be refused
