Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the significance of the grade II listed building known as Coxe's Dairy or Farmhouse
- Whether the site is suitably located for the proposed dwelling
- Whether the proposed dwelling would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The considerable harm to the significance of the listed building caused by the proposed dwelling's form, scale and obscuring effect on views of the farmhouse could not be outweighed by the public benefit of delivering a single dwelling.
The public benefit of delivering a single dwelling was not sufficient to outweigh the considerable harm to the significance of the listed building, particularly in the context of paragraph 205 of the Framework requiring great weight to be given to conservation of heritage assets.
