Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the existing trees on the site
The effect of the proposal on the setting of Stone House as well as the non designated heritage asset on the site
Whether the proposed surface water drainage scheme provides a satisfactory response

What decided it

The material harm to the character and appearance of the area arising from the design, scale and siting of plot 3, which conflicted with development plan policies NE4 and BE2.

The substantial harm from loss of the non-designated heritage asset was outweighed by its very limited significance, justifying that loss, but this did not overcome the separate harm identified to the character and appearance of the area, resulting in dismissal.
