Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the landscape character of the area, including its scenic and visual qualities, and whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed buildings known as 'Cold Piece Farmhouse', 'Barn at Cold Piece Farm to South of Farmhouse', and 'Cartshed at Cold Piece Farm'
- roosting, commuting or foraging bats
- outlook from the houses and gardens of properties situated to the south of the site
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed buildings, when weighed against limited public benefits, was decisive in dismissing the appeal in accordance with paragraphs 199 and 202 of the Framework.
