Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national policy
the effect of the proposal on the non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal's location as an infill site within an accessible and sustainable village location, combined with the provision of 4 new dwellings and associated economic and community benefits, outweighed the conflict with locational strategy policies.

The conflict with development plan locational strategy policies was outweighed by the substantial weight given to housing supply contribution, the accessible and sustainable location within the village, and the associated social and economic benefits, together with the absence of harm to character, appearance or heritage significance.
