Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including heritage assets and trees
What decided it
The moderate-high level of less than substantial harm to the significance of Furneux Pelham Hall and the Conservation Area, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
The moderate-high level of less than substantial harm to heritage assets and character and appearance, to which considerable weight was attached, was not outweighed by the limited weight given to housing supply, renewable energy measures, and self-build status, resulting in dismissal.
