Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development

What decided it

The substantial weight afforded to the conservation of the designated heritage asset and the harm to the Conservation Area's significance, in combination with conflict with open space policy, substantially outweighs the housing supply and economic benefits.

The benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits are substantially outweighed by the adverse effects due to the weight afforded to the harm to the Conservation Area and associated conflict with Framework policies HE6 and HE9 in combination with the conflict with Framework Policy HC7.
