Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for a new dwelling having regard to local and national planning policies
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on nearby trees and designated heritage assets
  • Living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development having regard to the adjacent public right of way and adjacent agricultural and commercial buildings
  • Parking
  • Contamination

What decided it

The height and prominence of the proposed dwelling combined with its extensive domestic curtilage would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and detract from the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and future occupiers would lack appropriate living conditions due to the public right of way and adjacent commercial and agricultural uses.

Plan policies cited: Policy LPP1, Policy SP3, Policy SP7, Policy LPP35, Policy LPP52, Policy LPP47, Policy LPP53, Policy LPP57, Policy LPP70, Policy LPP43
