Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Park Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting, as it relates to the special interest of the nearby listed buildings known as 'Woodside', 'Highfield Lodge' and Drumbeg
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Park Conservation Area and the setting of Woodside, both designated heritage assets to which great weight must be given, clearly outweighs the benefits of housing supply and other modest benefits of the scheme.
The moderate less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and to Woodside's setting, to which great weight is given, outweighs the limited benefits of housing supply contribution, economic benefits, and energy efficiency and biodiversity gains, which are small in scale; the heritage asset protection policies provide a strong reason for refusal that engages paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework
