Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with reference to the effect of the proposal on the significance of i) a heritage asset of archaeological interest and ii) a non-designated heritage asset.

What decided it

The unresolved archaeological significance of the site combined with the loss of a non-designated heritage asset (the existing dwelling) outweighed the housing and economic benefits of the scheme.

the moderate weight given to housing delivery and economic/social benefits did not outweigh the considerable weight attached to the unresolved archaeological harm and the loss of the non-designated heritage asset, so the proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole
