Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the Area of Special Historic Landscape Interest of the Isle of Axholme (ASHLI) and Area of High Landscape Value
- Whether the site would be a suitable location for development having regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future residential occupiers with particular regard to noise impacts from the public house
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the historic landscape, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest housing benefits and economic benefits during construction and occupation were outweighed by substantial harm to character and appearance and limited harm to the non-designated heritage asset, resulting in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
