Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal accords with development plan policies relating to the location of residential development in the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and less than substantial harm to heritage asset settings, combined with unsustainable location and high car dependency, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision.
the benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and less than substantial harm to the settings of designated heritage assets and harm to non-designated heritage assets
