What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the non-designated heritage assets, combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring properties, outweighed the benefits of housing provision.
The importance of housing provision was outweighed by the substantial scale of harm arising to the three non-designated heritage assets and the overbearing and dominant impact on the character of the surrounding area.
