Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings known as Crabtree Cottage, North Farm House, and Wisbridge Farm House and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Reed Conservation Area
What decided it
The great weight attached to the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, including the provision of seven dwellings.
