Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of Pond Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The reasonably high level of less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building Pond Farmhouse, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery and other considerations.
The public benefits of up to nine dwellings, self-build provision, First Homes, economic benefits, ecological benefits and biodiversity net gain did not outweigh the great weight given to the harm caused to the setting of the designated heritage asset
