Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether future occupiers of the proposal would have reasonable access to regularly required services and facilities
  • whether the proposal would be appropriate with regard to the loss of the existing dwelling and to its effect on the setting of grade II listed Grove Farmhouse
  • whether any effects of the proposal on European designated nature conservation sites in the wider area would be mitigated

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy for housing location and fails to satisfy the Habitats Regulations due to lack of required mitigation contributions, with heritage harm that cannot be outweighed by the moderate public benefits offered.
