Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve the settings of the Park Farm a grade II listed building, Church of All Saints, Wrington a grade I listed building, Urchinwood Manor grade II* listed building and Pineapple Farm a Grade II listed building.
  • Whether or not the proposed development would harm the landscape character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the scheme would provide for the infrastructure necessary to support the amount of development proposed

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the substantial weight given to the delivery of market and affordable housing outweighed the identified heritage and landscape harms.
