Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the principle of the proposed development is acceptable in this location with regard to the local development strategy
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the grade II listed building, Horwood House
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The lack of sufficient evidence to justify the need for staff accommodation in the countryside location, resulting in conflict with Policy E7 of the VALP.
The substantial conflict with Policy E7 arising from unjustified development in the countryside was not outweighed by the claimed social, economic and environmental benefits, which carried limited weight due to insufficient evidence.
Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy S3, Policy E7, Policy E8, Policy BE1, Policy BE2, Policy NE4, Policy C1
