Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Barrowden Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Rosemary Cottage and if an adverse effect were shown whether this would be outweighed by any public benefit arising from the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight attributed to the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Barrowden Conservation Area from the excessive bulk and scale of the proposed dwellings significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and removal of the commercial use.
The modest benefits of two new dwellings contributing to housing supply, removal of the haulage business, and support to local facilities were significantly outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
