Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape with special regard to the Pebworth Conservation Area
- whether the proposal could provide adequate affordable housing, biodiversity, and refuse removal
What decided it
The less than substantial but moderate harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape and the Conservation Area, when weighed against the modest housing and economic benefits, was not outweighed by public benefits sufficient to justify the development in the context of the Framework's great weight to heritage conservation.
The modest benefits of housing provision (3 dwellings), affordable housing contribution, biodiversity enhancements, and economic benefits were outweighed by the less than substantial but moderate harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape and the Conservation Area, with the Framework's great weight to heritage conservation tipping the balance against the proposal.
