Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, also having regard to the Keyworth Conservation Area, the Church of St Mary Magdalene (Grade I listed building) and the Hall (a non-designated heritage asset)

- The effect of the proposal on the highway safety of the area with particular regard to car parking

The considerable harm to the significance of the Grade I listed Church and the Keyworth Conservation Area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, could not be outweighed by the housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
