Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Keston Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Keston Park Conservation Area from the loss of open space that contributes to its spacious and verdant character outweighed the public benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The public benefits of housing delivery (given under-supply in the area) and economic benefits were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset, which was given considerable weight and importance in the overall balance.
