- the effect of the proposed development upon the setting and significance of Manor Farmhouse as a designated heritage asset
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to policies for flood risk, with particular reference to evacuation and surface water drainage
What decided it
