Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed buildings, with regard to their settings
- the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety
- ecology
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the two listed buildings with regard to their settings outweighed the public benefits of providing five homes and modest economic benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage assets outweighed the public benefits of residential development and economic benefits, and the heritage harm provided a clear reason for refusal that engaged the exception to the tilted balance under Paragraph 11di of the Framework.
