Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Cherry Cottage Hazel Cottage' and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The use of UPVC material would fail to respect the historic character of the listed building and would not preserve its special interest, and the limited public benefits of the proposal are insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 203Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 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.
