Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area with particular regard to the effect on heritage assets, and whether it would have an urbanising effect on the settlement edge
- Whether the appeal site would be an acceptable location for the development having regard to the spatial strategy for the area
What decided it
The less than substantial but significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, to which great weight must be given, could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of four dwellings in a location not identified for growth and not satisfying the local needs or infill exceptions.
The modest public benefits of housing delivery and local economic support were outweighed by the great weight to be given to the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset and the conflicts with the spatial strategy for the area
