Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific reference to the Standon Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed Bell Inn
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of adjacent residential properties, with specific reference to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on flood risk
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring residential amenity and inadequate flood risk assessment, was not outweighed by the economic benefits claimed.
