Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development upon the setting of the Grade II Listed Building of The Shoulder of Mutton Public House
  • the effect of the development upon flood risk

What decided it

The cumulative adverse effects on character and appearance, Listed Building setting, and unmitigated flood risk, combined with limited public benefits, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
