Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA) and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brassington Conservation Area (BCA)
  • Highway safety, with particular regard to intensification of use and visibility splays
  • The effect of the proposed development upon protected species

What decided it

The harm of very considerable magnitude to the non-designated heritage asset from its near-total loss, combined with failure to demonstrate safe and suitable access and absence of protected species survey evidence, outweighed the limited public benefits of a single dwelling.

The limited public benefits of the proposal (a single dwelling contributing modestly to housing supply) did not outweigh the harm of very considerable magnitude arising from the near-total loss of the NDHA and the less than substantial harm to the Brassington Conservation Area
