Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind it would be in the Morton Conservation Area (MCA) and nearby to two grade II listed buildings and a Non-Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA)
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for housing, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Morton Conservation Area and the settings of nearby listed buildings and the non-designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
the limited social and economic benefits of the four dwellings did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to designated and non-designated heritage assets and the conflict with the Council's spatial strategy
