Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be at risk of flooding and, where relevant, whether the sequential test has been met
  • the effect of the proposal on the significance of the former Walkeringham Methodist Chapel, a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, through development within its setting
  • the effect of the proposal on archaeological remains within the site
  • whether the proposal makes suitable provision for features which support priority or threatened species

What decided it

The proposal would be at high risk of surface water flooding with the sequential test unmet, and would cause considerable harm to the significance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset through inappropriate materials in its setting, with benefits not outweighing these harms.
