Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The identified harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Fritwell Conservation Area, which provides a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework and outweighs the benefits of housing delivery.
