35 High Street, Honeybourne, Evesham, WORCS, WR11 7PQ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, with particular regard to whether the proposal would preserve the special interest and setting of the grade II listed building known as 33 and 35, High Street
• highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting and special interest of the listed building, arising from the intensive residential use and vehicle-dominated appearance of the converted garage, was not outweighed by the significant benefit of providing one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply shortage.

the significant benefit of providing one dwelling in the context of a 1.1-year housing land supply was outweighed by the less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building's setting and special interest, and the conflict with development plan policies on design and heritage conservation
