Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Little Brickhill Conservation Area (CA), including its effect on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Grove Cottage North Cottage
- whether the appeal site offers an appropriate location for development having regard to the development plan policies
- whether the proposed development would be provided with adequate means of drainage
What decided it
The harm to the significance of designated heritage assets (the Conservation Area and listed building setting) and the non-designated heritage asset (stone barn) could not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of two dwellings, and the proposal conflicted with the development plan's settlement hierarchy.
