Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to the settings of relevant heritage assets
  • Whether the site is a suitable location for housing development having regard to local planning policies
  • If harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations

What decided it

The proposal would cause unjustified less than substantial harm to the settings of designated heritage assets by eroding the undeveloped rural character of the site, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single self-build dwelling.
