Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Grade II listed building Grange Farmhouse
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to local policies concerned with the spatial strategy and accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Grade II listed Grange Farmhouse and its setting, combined with conflict with the spatial strategy, could not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits of housing delivery.
