Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building, combined with the inappropriate development in the Green Belt and harm to its openness, is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1Policy DE1Policy HE2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 142Paragraph 152Paragraph 153Paragraph 154Paragraph 207Paragraph 208
