Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the significance of the Grade II* listed building known as Brookthorpe Court and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and preserve the settings of the Grade II* listed Church of St Swithin and Grade II listed Old Vicarage
- The effect of the proposed works in respect of biodiversity, in particular relating to European protected species comprising bats
What decided it
The absence of an elevation drawing for one side of the proposed extension prevented the Inspector from fully assessing the appearance of that element and its effect on the integrity of the listed building, making it impossible to be certain the proposals would preserve its significance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ES10ES6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 207Paragraph 210Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 214Paragraph 215
