Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effects of the development on ecology
  • effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area having special regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of Baugh Farm a grade II listed building
  • effects of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties
  • effects of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that the development would not result in loss or deterioration of irreplaceable habitats, combined with the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the listed building, with no public benefits to outweigh that harm.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by any identified public benefits.
