Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing, with regards to local and national policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the setting of Glinton Conservation Area (the GCA) and on nearby listed buildings
  • The likely long-term effect upon trees to be retained in the vicinity of the site

What decided it

The very significant weight given to the combined harm to the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the conservation area, and the pressure on retained trees outweighed the benefits of the scheme even under the tilted balance.

The significant benefits of 24 new homes (30% affordable), economic benefits and biodiversity gains were outweighed by the very significant weight given to harm to character and appearance, heritage setting and trees, such that the adverse impacts were not judged to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits but the overall balance still favoured refusal due to conflict with the development plan as a whole.
