Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would be in a suitable location with regards to access to services and facilities
  • Whether the development would preserve the settings of the adjacent Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings
  • The effect of the development on the character and distinctive features of the Hadhams Valley Landscape Character Area and the surroundings

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the settings of listed buildings and the landscape character, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms and the conflicts with development plan policies.

Framework references: 9, 12, 15

Plan policies cited: Policy GBR2, Policy DPS2, Policy TRA1, Policy HA1, Policy DES2, Policy DES3, Policy DES4
