Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of Grade II* listed building, Little Park

What decided it

The proposed extensions would, by reason of their position, scale and bulk, lack sufficient subservience to the original building and would harmfully erode the rural character of the surrounding area contrary to the development plan.
