Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the existing brick barns amount to non-designated heritage assets
- If they do, whether the harm arising from their loss would be outweighed by other considerations
What decided it
The realistic fallback position of permitted development rights to demolish the barns under prior approval (ref S.22/0141/DEM) constituted a material consideration that indicated a decision should be taken other than in accordance with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP15ES10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 203
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
