Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, with particular regard to Paragraph Q(a) whether the appeal site is an agricultural building and Q(b) building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including upon the special interest of nearby heritage assets, namely Grade II listed Glebe House
What decided it
The harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed Glebe House through the domestication of the building's appearance and loss of its agrarian character outweighed the limited public benefits of creating one new dwelling.
The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the listed building through its setting was weighed against the public benefits of creating one new home and securing a viable use for the building; the harm was found to be greater and outweighed the benefits, and even modest housing supply benefits would not overcome this identified harm.
