Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be an acceptable location for the development having regard to the spatial strategy for the area and access to facilities and services
  • The effect of the proposal on heritage assets

What decided it

The significant harm to designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under Framework paragraph 205, outweighed the limited public benefits of providing one dwelling.

The limited weight attributed to housing supply and modest public benefits was insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to designated heritage assets and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy
