Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location and the resultant effects on the South Cerney Conservation Area and the settings of several listed buildings
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the settings of several listed buildings, to which great weight must be given, is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing 3 dwellings despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
The public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the Conservation Area and settings of listed buildings, to which great weight must be attached under paragraph 212 of the Framework, and which provides a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)
