Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal development on Boyce Court, a Grade II Listed building and its setting
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the setting of Boyce Court, a Grade II listed building, outweighs the moderate public benefits of the development, and the clear reason for refusal provided by Framework policies protecting designated heritage assets means the tilted balance is not engaged.
The less-than-substantial harm to the setting of Boyce Court, to which great weight was given, outweighed the moderate weight given to the functional need for agricultural worker accommodation and the limited weight given to the housing supply benefit
Framework references: 11
