- whether the setting of the Great Oakley Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- whether the proposed development would be a suitable location for housing having regard to the Council's spatial strategy and the conclusions reached on the preceding main issues
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Great Oakley Conservation Area, which carries considerable weight and is not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Conservation Area, carrying considerable weight, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits comprising a small contribution to housing supply and potential self-build provision without legal guarantee.
