Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Oakley Conservation Area
- The effect on the significance of the appeal building as a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the settings of the Grade II listed buildings known as Pett's Cottage, Armond House and House Immediately to the North East, Holly Trees, Maltings Farmhouse and Old Scantlings
- The effect on highway safety with particular regard to parking provision
- Whether the proposed development would affect the integrity of the SPA
What decided it
The public benefits of housing provision, community facility, economic benefits and enhanced streetscape provided clear and convincing justification for the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, outweighing the great weight attached to heritage conservation.
