Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including with particular reference to protected trees
- the effect of the proposed development upon the setting and significance of the Church of St Michael and St Mary Magdalene, and White Cottage, as Grade II designated heritage assets
What decided it
The great weight required to be given to the conservation of the setting and significance of the two Grade II listed buildings, combined with harm to protected trees, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the scheme.
the harm to the setting and significance of the Church and White Cottage, together with harm to protected trees and the character and appearance of the area, significantly outweighed the moderate public benefits of the scheme
