Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed dwelling, having particular regard to the housing strategy for the area
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular reference to the setting of Haverland Farmhouse, a Grade II Listed Building
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with both the development plan policies restricting rural residential conversion and the Framework's heritage protection requirements, with the limited benefits of a single dwelling insufficient to overcome the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II Listed Building, afforded great weight under paragraph 199 of the Framework, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits from the conversion works and support to the local economy from one dwelling in a remote location
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP2A(c) of the Core Strategy (2013)Policy H12 of the Local Plan (2005)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 80Paragraph 199Paragraph 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.
