Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and development form
- Whether the proposed dwelling would have an adverse impact on the setting of the listed building
- Whether the proposed dwelling would have an adverse impact on the living conditions for present and future occupants of the Willoughbys and houses to the west and of the proposed house in terms of overlooking, proximity and space standards
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the listed building and the detrimental impact on neighbouring living conditions through overlooking and proximity outweighed the minor benefit of providing a single dwelling.
The minor benefit of providing a single house and its limited contribution to housing supply was outweighed by the adverse impact on the setting of the listed building and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
