Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect on protected trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed King William IV public house, which the identified public benefits would not outweigh, provided a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11d) of the Framework despite the council's housing land supply shortfall.
The moderate weight given to the public benefits of delivering a single new dwelling and supporting housing supply was outweighed by the great weight required to be given to the conservation of the significance of the listed building, resulting in refusal.
