Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the nearby listed buildings
- the safe use of the highway
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed cottages, combined with the unacceptable highway safety impact, could not be justified by the limited public benefits of the proposal, particularly given the Council's demonstrated 5-year housing land supply.
the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed cottages and the unacceptable highway safety impact outweighed the limited benefits of providing an accessible single dwelling with low carbon impact and economic benefits
