- whether, having regard to development plan policy, the proposed development would result in harm to the provision of education land
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the grade II listed school
- the effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
What decided it
The cumulative harm caused to Urban Open Space, education land provision, character and appearance, listed building setting, highway safety and biodiversity, when weighed against modest housing and economic benefits, resulted in conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
