Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location, land use and amount of the proposal would accord with the strategy of the Development Plan and have acceptable access to services and facilities

What decided it

the substantial public benefits of housing delivery and the social and economic contributions of the proposal outweighed the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and listed buildings, with the balance at Framework paragraph 215 in favour of the proposal
