Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Trawden Forest Conservation Area
  • Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Trawden Forest Conservation Area, and the moderate public benefits of housing supply do not outweigh the great weight required to be given to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
