Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting and significance of the Old Rectory (a Grade II Listed Building)
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Longborough Conservation Area, including in respect of its effect on trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed Old Rectory and the character and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the limited public benefits of providing one additional housing unit.
The limited public benefits of the scheme (one additional housing unit, modest socio-economic and environmental benefits) did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under the Framework
Framework references: 11, 70
