Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the design, scale and form of the proposed dwellings on the character or appearance of the area, including the settings of The Watch House locally listed building and the Stanpit and Fishermans Bank Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant negative effect on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the locally listed building and conservation area, which cannot be outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits given the Framework's requirement to conserve heritage assets and ensure development is sympathetic to local character.
The modest social, economic and environmental public benefits of the proposal were outweighed by the appreciable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, to which considerable importance and great weight was given in accordance with Framework heritage conservation objectives
