Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling and garage on the character and appearance of the locality
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of 'Jollyboys', a grade II listed building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the listed building 'Jollyboys' and the significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside, combined with conflict with the recently made neighbourhood plan, were not outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of 'Jollyboys' and the significant harm to character and appearance were not outweighed by the limited social and economic benefits of a single self-build dwelling; the environmental harm arising from an additional dwelling in the countryside outside locally determined development limits outweighed the limited benefits when considering NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii).
