Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings, their settings and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that they possess, and whether any harm would be caused to their significance
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Grade II listed buildings and the Green Belt, together with the absence of very special circumstances, provided clear reasons for dismissal that outweighed the personal and modest public benefits of the proposal.
