Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building at Pasture House, Pasture Lane
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the setting of Pasture House by introducing new built development that would significantly erode the open agricultural character of the land and create a visually competing development that would diminish the historic importance and primacy of the listed building.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, which included housing land supply, self-build provision, economic benefits, and sustainability credentials, all of which were limited in extent given the modest scale of three dwellings.
