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 less than substantial harm to the conservation area and would conflict with the spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies, and these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing 4 dwellings.

The moderate weight afforded to housing delivery and economic benefits was outweighed by the substantial weight given to the conflict with policies protecting the conservation area, landscape character, and sustainable transport, with the heritage harm being decisive under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework.

Framework references: 11, 110, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy GEN 03, Policy GEN 05, Policy HOU 05, Policy GEN 02, Policy ENV 05, Policy COM 01, Policy ENV 07, Policy TR 01, Policy TR 02
