Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building

What decided it

The physical and visual separation provided by the historic garden walls, combined with the ancillary and subservient nature of the proposed structures and their traditional materials, meant the development would have a neutral effect on the setting of the listed building and preserve its heritage significance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy PPL9
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 212

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.
