Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the grade II listed buildings at Arms Farm and the Sutton Benger Conservation Area
- Whether the site is suitably located for the development proposed, with regard to the development plan
What decided it
The considerable and permanent harm to the special interest of the listed building and the setting of the conservation area, which the public benefits of four new dwellings and modest economic gains could not outweigh, combined with the proposal's conflict with the development plan location policies.
The considerable public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the considerable and permanent harm to heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under the Framework
