- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the grade II listed building, The Old Forge
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building, combined with the unsustainable location and harm to character and appearance, provided a clear reason for refusal under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(i) that outweighed the minimal housing benefit.
the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting and the harm to character and appearance, together with the unsustainable location, outweighed the minimal benefit of providing one additional dwelling in a district with a 3.11 year housing land supply
