Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local policies relating to development in the countryside
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Up Nately Conservation Area
  • whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of 2 Grade II listed buildings, Blae Grove House and Kilkinnon

What decided it

The identified less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and the setting of Grade II listed building Blae Grove House is not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, particularly the contribution to housing supply.

the public benefits of the proposal, including contribution to housing supply (moderate weight) and social and environmental benefits, do not outweigh the identified less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and the setting of Grade II listed building Blae Grove House (given great weight)
