Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for a new dwelling
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and landscape, including the Ipstones Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Ipstones Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal.
The moderate public benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits during construction, renewable energy generation and thermally efficient materials did not outweigh the great weight given to the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset
