Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide a suitable site for development, having regard to its location in conjunction with the Housing Strategy of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the existing site and the greater locality with special regard to the East Hanney Conservation Area, and the effect upon the setting of the Grade II listed building Philberd's Manor

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, and the public benefits of the scheme do not outweigh this harm when weighed against the framework and development plan policies.

Framework references: 83, 135, 212, 213, 214

Plan policies cited: Core Policy 4, Core Policy 37, Core Policy 39, Core Policy 44, Policy LP1, Policy LP7, Policy DP7, Policy 36, Policy 37, Policy 38, EHNP2, EHNP5
