Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the significance of the Grade II listed 14, 16, and 18 John Street through development within their setting
- Ecology and biodiversity
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed buildings through erosion of their rural setting, to which great weight must be afforded, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage assets, to which considerable importance and weight must be afforded, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing contribution, economic benefits during construction and occupation, and council tax payments.
