Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the historic environment
What decided it
The adverse impacts of demolition of the non-designated heritage asset on the historic environment and local character would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply and the proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole.
The adverse impacts on the historic environment and character and distinctiveness of the local area through demolition of the NDHA significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of housing delivery on previously developed land, even in circumstances of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
