Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development/works would preserve the grade II listed Winsor's Farmhouse or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stewkley Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating how the proposal would be constructed and finished meant the Inspector could not properly assess the impact on the listed building's significance and had to take a precautionary approach, finding the scheme would harm the designated heritage assets.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE1 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2013-2033 (2021)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 194Paragraph 202
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.
