Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the mix and balance of housing stock in the locality
  • The effect on the character and appearance of Stokeley Coach House, as a non-designated heritage asset
  • The effect on protected species, namely bats

What decided it

The proposal fails on three independent grounds: harmful effect on housing mix and balance contrary to local plan policies, harm to the character and appearance of a non-designated heritage asset without justification, and inability to satisfy that protected species harm would be avoided as required by policy.
