What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area, when given great weight in accordance with NPPF paragraph 212, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of a single dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area, given great weight, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits; the absence of five-year housing supply did not engage the presumption in favour of sustainable development because the proposal conflicted with NPPF policies protecting designated heritage assets.
