Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the effect on the significance of the Grade II Listed building known as Manor House as a designated heritage asset through development within its setting
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the Grade II Listed building Manor House through development within its setting, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery and economic growth.
the harm to the heritage asset (less than substantial but afforded considerable weight) was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery (significant weight given the 2.65 year supply shortfall) and economic benefits (moderate weight), resulting in dismissal
