Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for a residential dwelling in respect of its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, having regard to policies concerning housing in the countryside, local character and appearance and the effect on the setting of the Grade I listed building, Church of St Marys and the character and appearance of the Uffington Conservation Area
What decided it
The considerable weight attached to the harm to the Grade I listed Church's setting and the Conservation Area, combined with harm to local character and appearance and conflict with the development plan's strategic approach to housing in the countryside, was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing supply and self-build provision.
