Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of Nunthorpe Hall, which is listed grade II, together with the gates, gatepiers and crescent walls within its curtilage, which are also listed grade II
- whether the character or appearance of the conservation area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The proposed building's excessive size and modern utilitarian form would unacceptably harm the setting of the listed building, and no clear and convincing justification or sufficient public benefits had been demonstrated to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS4CS5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 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.
