Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the proposed development would comply with the development plan
  • the effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets

What decided it

The harm to the setting of the Grade II listed barracks, a designated heritage asset, combined with the conflict with employment land safeguarding policy, outweighs the modest housing benefits, particularly given the failure to provide archaeological assessment of the bunkers.

The less than substantial but significant harm to the setting of designated heritage assets, given considerable importance and weight under the Framework, was not outweighed by the modest housing supply benefits and economic benefits of a single dwelling, even with the tilted balance engaged by the lack of a 5-year housing supply.
