Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with regard to the density of development and the provision of the safety netting and support towers
  • The effect of the safety netting support towers on the setting of the Grade II* listed Ryshworth Hall
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to the outdoor amenity spaces, any overbearing effect as a result of the safety netting and support towers and any noise and disruption arising from the Cricket Club premises
  • Whether there would be any unacceptable adverse impact on highway safety as a result of the proposal
  • Whether there would be any unacceptable overshadowing or loss of light to the Cricket Club house and pavilion

What decided it

The cumulative significant adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions, and heritage setting were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, both under the tilted balance and as a standalone heritage-based reason for refusal.

The adverse impacts (harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and less than substantial harm to the setting of Ryshworth Hall) were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply and economic benefits, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
