  • whether there are other considerations weighing in favour of the proposed development

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Scheduled Ancient Monument and the harm to the character and appearance of the area were not outweighed by the public benefits, including the need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches and the personal circumstances of the prospective occupiers.
