- the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building, named 'Martin's Hall', in terms of how it is experienced in its setting
What decided it
The harm to the special historic interest and heritage significance of Martin's Hall and Capstones, assessed as less than substantial but outweighing the moderate positive weight given to housing supply and economic benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of Martin's Hall and Capstones, to which great weight was attached, outweighed the moderate positive weight given to housing supply contribution and moderate positive weight given to economic benefits, and limited positive weight given to biodiversity net gain.
