Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with particular regard to national and local planning policy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the setting of the Preston Capes Conservation Area and the setting of the grade II listed Swan Farmhouse
What decided it
The appeal site's location beyond the village confines and the inevitable material harm to the form, character and setting of Preston Capes and the setting of the Conservation Area and listed building.
The limited benefit of providing a single additional dwelling in an area with a demonstrated 5-year housing land supply does not outweigh the material harm to the character, form and setting of Preston Capes and the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area and listed building.
