Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the demolition of the outbuildings at Church View would preserve any features of special architectural and historic interest which the listed buildings possess
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the neighbouring Grade II listed building 'Rosedene, Main Street'
- Whether the proposed development would be safe from flooding without increasing flood risk elsewhere, with particular reference to the application of the sequential test
- Whether the proposal is acceptable in terms of highway safety
- The effects of the proposed development on protected species, specifically bats
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed buildings and would result in less than substantial but considerable harm to their heritage significance and the setting of the neighbouring listed building, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits identified.
