Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the buildings constitute new buildings requiring planning permission or repairs to existing structures
- Whether the buildings cause harm to the setting of the listed building or character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The buildings are modest, utilitarian and simple in scale, located to the rear of the pub behind larger commercial buildings, and cause no less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building or character and appearance of the area.
The benefits of replacing existing structures with similar storage buildings outweighed any concerns about their location within the Green Belt and setting of the listed building.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- QP3QP5HE1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
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.
