Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of The Manor and The Waggon House and Stable, both of which are listed buildings
Whether the proposed development would result in damage or loss to trees

What decided it

The proposed building's sufficient distance from the listed buildings, acceptable scale, and dense surrounding planting would prevent harm to the significance of the heritage assets, and the Tree Survey report provided satisfactory mitigation for tree protection.

No balancing exercise was required as the Inspector found no harm to the heritage assets would result from the proposed development.

Development plan policies: Policy 28S (i and ii)Policy 29 (i, ii and iii)Policy 41S(iv)Policy 66(viii and ix)Policy 39
