Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II* listed building, Cross-in-Hand Windmill, and the setting of the Grade II listed building, Mill House
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve the settings of the Grade II* listed building Cross-in-Hand Windmill and the Grade II listed building Mill House, causing less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The limited public benefits of housing supply contribution and modest economic benefits were not sufficient to outweigh the considerable importance and weight attached to the less than substantial harm to the settings of the designated heritage assets
