What decided it
The wholly inadequate submitted evidence regarding the proposal means it is not possible to conclude that the limited public benefits would outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets that would be caused, and the Inspector is not satisfied the proposal could even be implemented as shown.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 (design)Policy D2 (heritage)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
