Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the location for housing having regard to development plan and national policy
  • Whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the grade II listed buildings (LBs) comprising The Mythe, The Mythe Coach House, and Uplands and its effect on the significance of the Tewkesbury Conservation Area (the CA)
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The combined harm to the character and appearance of the area and the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

the substantial benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery, together with moderate and limited weight benefits, were outweighed by the combined less than substantial heritage harm and unacceptable harm to character and appearance, such that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits
