Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mitchell Conservation Area and the effect on the setting of listed buildings, in particular Wellesley Farm House
- whether or not the scheme would provide a safe and suitable access to the site, including having regard to the convenience and amenity of the proposed and adjoining occupants of properties
What decided it
The fairly considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Mitchell Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the development, particularly given the Council's ability to demonstrate a Framework-compliant housing land supply.
