Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location taking into consideration local and national policy and local housing needs
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of The Leys, a grade II listed building
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to visibility splays and visitor parking
- The effect of the proposed development on flood risk and surface water drainage
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole on spatial location, character and appearance, heritage, highway safety and drainage, and the material considerations do not provide a compelling reason to deviate from the development plan.
The modest benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits during construction and occupation, and the provision of affordable housing were outweighed by the material conflicts with the development plan relating to spatial housing distribution, character and appearance, heritage asset setting, highway safety and flood risk.
