Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing having regard to local and national policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on the special interest and significance of the adjacent Grade II listed building at The Eagles Inn, with particular regard to its setting

What decided it

The less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building through loss of its open setting could not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.

the moderate public benefits of four new homes, brownfield redevelopment and self-build provision did not outweigh the considerable importance and weight of the identified harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset
