Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the adjacent Nunney Conservation Area and the settings of nearby listed buildings
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Beech Cottage, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings, combined with the protection afforded to designated heritage assets under NPPF paragraph 11d(i), provided a strong reason to dismiss the appeal despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
the less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets and the living conditions of neighbours outweighed the limited public benefits of one new dwelling and efficient use of land
