Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the spatial strategy
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, and on the setting of the Grade II listed buildings at Stock Hall Farm

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the building and the setting of the Grade II listed buildings at Stock Hall Farm, combined with the failure to enhance the building's immediate setting, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest economic and social benefits.

Framework references: 84, 205, 207
