Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed new dwellings on the setting of the Grade II Listed St Mary's Church
the effect of the proposed new dwellings on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II Listed St Mary's Church caused by the bulk, mass and height of the proposed terrace could not be outweighed by the scheme's housing and regeneration benefits, as the Framework requires great weight to be given to heritage asset conservation.

the less than substantial harm to the Listed Building's setting was weighed against the significant cumulative benefits of housing delivery and regeneration in an area with a 3.85-year housing supply shortfall, but the heritage harm outweighed the benefits
