Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would represent a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy for the area, and the effect on its character and appearance, including on the setting of the Kings Newton Conservation Area and on listed buildings at Elms Farmhouse and 32 Trent Lane
What decided it
The scheme's conflict with Framework policies protecting designated heritage assets, combined with the harm to the setting of the Kings Newton Conservation Area and Elms Farmhouse, outweighed the modest public benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
The modest public benefits of housing supply, biodiversity net gain and economic benefits did not outweigh the less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the setting of designated heritage assets
