Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on heritage assets
What decided it
The Unilateral Undertaking preventing implementation of the previously approved Leisure Outbuilding and 2009 Scheme cart lodge alongside the appeal proposal provided a clear and convincing justification for the less than substantial heritage harm, as the proposed development would be less disruptive to the significance of the heritage assets than the fallback development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4Policy DM7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 154Paragraph 66Paragraph 195Paragraph 196Paragraph 197Paragraph 199Paragraph 200
