Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the size, scale, role and function of the settlement
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Husthwaite Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings
- whether the development can provide a policy compliant net gain in biodiversity
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the Husthwaite Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, resulted in conflict with LP Policy E5 and the NPPF.
the public benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, affordable housing provision, and biodiversity net gain did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the Husthwaite Conservation Area
