Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that altering the condition would have on the special interest of the Grade II listed barn and whether the condition is reasonable and necessary
What decided it
The visual prominence of the barn and the material differences between Collyweston slate and the proposed alternatives would cause harm to the special interest of the listed building and its setting that cannot be justified by the financial savings alone.
The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed barn was not outweighed by the limited financial information and absence of evidence on public benefits or securing optimum viable use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 2(b) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 201Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
