Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the significance of Staypleton House as a non-designated heritage asset; the character or appearance of the conservation area; and the conservation area's setting

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully diminish the significance of Staypleton House as a non-designated heritage asset and fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, with the moderate weight of public benefits insufficient to outweigh the considerable harm to the historic environment.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SD5 (3d)Policy HE2 (2 and 3)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 201Paragraph 202Paragraph 203
