Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Effingham Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would adversely affect the setting of a listed building
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, particularly through visual prominence of the new units, loss of trees, and fragmentation of the historic boundary wall, was not outweighed by the public benefit of delivering additional housing.
