Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, including the Orton on the Hill Conservation Area and nearby Grade II Listed Buildings of Lower Farm and Church Farm and the Grade I Listed Church of St Edith

What decided it

The significant and serious less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the harm to the setting of designated heritage assets outweighed the moderate benefits of delivering a self-build dwelling in a district with insufficient housing land supply.

The moderate benefits of delivering one self-build dwelling and contributing to housing supply were outweighed by the higher end less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance and the harm to the setting of designated heritage assets, with the heritage balance not passed and the overall planning balance tipping against the proposal.
