What decided it
The harm caused to the significance of the listed building by the visually obtrusive and domesticating extension was not outweighed by any identifiable public benefits, as the accessibility needs could be met through alternative means.
The less than substantial harm to the special interest and significance of the listed building was not outweighed by public benefits, as the claimed accessibility benefit was not clearly necessary and any other benefits were private or negligible.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN5 of the Teignbridge Local Plan 2013-33
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
