Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Grade II* listed Church of St Mary, and the Council's development strategy and the accessibility of the appeal site by sustainable transport modes
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II* listed Church of St Mary, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed Church of St Mary, afforded great weight, was not outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the public benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision, resulting in dismissal
