Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the significance of the conservation area and the setting and significance of the listed buildings that would not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits of housing delivery, and heritage protection policies provided a clear reason for refusal notwithstanding the housing land supply shortfall.
the moderate public benefits of 3-7 dwellings and associated economic and social benefits did not outweigh the significant harm to the conservation area and listed buildings, with great weight given to heritage conservation under paragraph 212 of the Framework
