Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the Much Hadham Conservation Area (MHCA) including a locally listed park and garden (HPG)
  • The effect of the development on the setting of nearby heritage assets

What decided it

The appeal site functions as an infill plot within an approved residential development and the proposed dwelling would assimilate successfully into the existing pattern without harming the conservation area or the setting of nearby heritage assets.

The modest social and economic benefits of delivering a custom/self-build dwelling in an area with a five-year housing land supply shortfall weighed in favour of the scheme, with no identified conflict with the development plan.
