In their report to the committee, planning officers say:"The proposal would result in a negative impact on the setting of the Grade II listed The Priory, due to the loss of open space that contributes to its setting, including views of and from it. Planners say the benefits would be 24 affordable homes in perpetuity, developer contributions of £131,407 for local education, another £31,200 for improvement to nearby play/recreation facilities and nearby sports facilities.There would also be a highway improvement scheme and temporary construction employment and supply chain opportunities.
