Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Grade II listed 'Millers', Grade II listed 'Stable to East of Millers' and Grade I listed 'Church of the Holy Trinity'
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to use of the Church Lane / B1256 Dunmow Road junction
- the effect of the use of the proposed access on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using Church Lane
What decided it
The harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed buildings, identified as a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework was displaced by the strong reason for refusal provided by harm to designated heritage assets; the modest public benefits of housing delivery and economic uplift were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial but significant harm to the setting of the listed buildings and the highway safety concerns.
