Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to local policies concerned with housing in rural areas
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Church of All Saints
What decided it
The site's location within a group of existing buildings at the settlement edge, combined with the proposed dwelling's subordinate scale relative to the listed church's spire and the retention of views towards the countryside, satisfied both the suitability of location and heritage preservation requirements.
