Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Dyrham Conservation Area
- whether it would conserve or enhance the scenic beauty of the landscape within the Cotswolds National Landscape
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building known as Bay Tree Cottage
- the effect of the proposal on the potential for buried archaeology
- the effect of the proposal on trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Dyrham Conservation Area and the Grade II listed building Bay Tree Cottage, which could not be outweighed by the moderate economic and social benefits of the proposal, combined with insufficient archaeological assessment before determination.
