Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the setting of nearby listed buildings
  • the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to noise

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed buildings, which the economic and highway benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh under paragraph 202 of the Framework.

The economic benefits of more efficient agricultural operation and reduction in traffic movements were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the setting of designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given under paragraph 199 of the Framework.
