- Whether the proposal represents a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area and the effect on character and appearance, including the heritage significance of designated heritage assets
- The effect on neighbouring living conditions, with regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the designated heritage assets, to which the Framework directs great weight must be given, is not outweighed by the identified public benefits, providing a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 202 of the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under the Framework, outweighed the cumulative public benefits of housing delivery (limited weight), economic benefits (limited weight), and biodiversity enhancements (limited weight), resulting in refusal.
