Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local plan policies for the distribution of housing and in particular whether the appeal site is located within the non-principal settlement of Poulton
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the setting of adjacent grade II listed buildings and the setting of Poulton Conservation Area
What decided it
The appeal site is located outside the non-principal settlement of Poulton in the countryside where new build open market housing is restricted by Policy D4, and the proposal would cause less than substantial harm to listed buildings and the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
The public benefit of providing one additional dwelling was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance and setting of listed buildings and the Conservation Area, to which the Inspector gave considerable importance and weight
Plan policies cited: Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy EN1, Policy EN2, Policy EN4, Policy EN10
