Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the setting of Lidsey Farm House (Grade II listed)
What decided it
The size, scale and footprint of the proposed dwelling would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building, which was not outweighed by the benefit of delivering a single residential unit in the context of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefit of delivering a single residential unit in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building, to which great weight must be given.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 208
