Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, having regard to whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the listed building
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of both the Conservation Area and the listed building through the loss of important openness and the introduction of incongruous built forms that would erode the rural character and historic setting, which harm is not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area and the listed building was not outweighed by the public benefits of 4 new homes and construction jobs
