Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Henham Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Henleys
What decided it
The greater-than-moderate level of less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building Henleys, which the significant benefits of the scheme could not outweigh.
The significant benefits of providing three self-build dwellings and addressing housing land supply shortfall were outweighed by the great weight to be given to conservation of the designated heritage asset, given the greater-than-moderate level of less than substantial harm identified
