Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed works on the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance through loss of historic fabric was not outweighed by the extremely limited public benefits, which comprised only negligible economic benefits from the small-scale works.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV2 of the Uttlesford Local Plan 2005Policy SW3 of the Saffron Walden Neighbourhood Plan 2021-2036
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 203Paragraph 208
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
