Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for the development with regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the development would preserve the setting of a Grade II* listed building
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of Woodside with specific regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed building Theobalds by eroding its rural setting, and the limited public benefits of three dwellings were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed building, to which considerable importance and weight was attached, outweighed the limited public benefits of housing provision in an area lacking a five-year housing land supply.
