Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Grade II Listed Park (Shortgrove)
The effect on the character and appearance of the countryside

What decided it

The benefits of two additional houses and unquantified, unsecured heritage improvements would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed park and garden, and heritage policies in the Framework provide a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i).

The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset outweighed the limited social and economic benefits of two new houses and the unquantified and unsecured heritage improvements, with heritage policies of the Framework weighing against the proposal

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S3Policy S7Policy ENV9
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 194Paragraph 196Paragraph 202Paragraph 11
