Whether it preserves the setting of the Scheduled Monument

What decided it

The development fails to preserve the special interest of the listed building, fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, and fails to preserve the significance of the Scheduled Monument through its setting, with no sufficient public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable heritage harm.
