Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for residential development, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of Adcote and adjoining forecourt walls, a Grade I listed building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade I listed Adcote House, combined with conflict with the Council's spatial strategy for housing in the countryside, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits on offer.
The public benefits, including limited housing delivery and an unenforceable financial contribution towards listed building repairs, did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade I listed building and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy
