Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal in respect of the setting of the listed building
  • Whether the scheme would provide for acceptable living conditions for future occupants in respect of noise
  • Whether the scheme would suitably safeguard ecology on and off site

What decided it

The combination of heritage harm to the listed building's setting, insufficient evidence of acceptable noise levels for future occupants, and inadequate ecological survey and mitigation collectively outweighed the social and economic benefits of traveller pitch provision.
