Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of development plan policies and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the settings of the Kinsham Conservation Area and Grade II listed buildings
What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Conservation Area, when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing a single new dwelling.
The benefits of housing delivery and meeting local need were afforded limited weight despite the significant housing land supply shortfall, and were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and the setting of the Conservation Area.
