Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the St Neots Conservation Area and its significance
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the designated heritage asset (St Neots Conservation Area) was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing delivery, providing a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the limited social, economic and environmental benefits of four dwellings on a small previously developed site, even in the context of a housing land supply shortfall.
