Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of Grade II listed building, Wyllyotts Manor
What decided it
The severe shortage of housing land supply (1.36 years) and the substantial public benefits of delivering 55 dwellings on a previously developed, sustainable site outweighed the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building Wyllyotts Manor was outweighed by the substantial public benefits of housing delivery (55 dwellings addressing a 1.36-year supply), employment and economic benefits, and optimisation of a previously developed site in a sustainable location.
