Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to the setting of the grade II listed building at No 45 High Street as a heritage asset and Village Open Space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the grade II listed building at No 45, to which great weight is afforded, outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset, afforded substantial weight, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply, self-build provision and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development was not engaged.
