Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the site would be suitable for the proposed developments, having regard to the development plan's spatial strategy for the supply of housing, with reference to the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed developments on the setting of the Grade II listed building 'Combined Dining Hall and Kitchen at Sayers Croft' (the Dining Hall)
What decided it
The less than substantial but permanent harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed Dining Hall outweighed the public benefits of the self-build schemes and provided a clear reason for refusal under the Framework's heritage protection policies.
the significant benefits of delivering self-build housing did not outweigh the great weight attributed to the less than substantial (lower end) harm to the setting of the Grade II listed Dining Hall
