Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including its effect on the historic landscape of Escot Park and the significance of the grade II listed building known as Escot
- Whether the design would accord with Paragraphs 84 e) and 139 b) of the Framework
What decided it
The proposal would cause considerable harm to the character and appearance of the historic parkland landscape and to the setting of the Grade II listed building Escot, and this harm could not be outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of housing delivery and modest biodiversity enhancements were outweighed by the considerable harm to the character and appearance of the historic landscape and the harm to the setting of the listed building, to which great weight must be given under Paragraph 212 of the Framework
Framework references: 11, 84, 139, 212, 215
Plan policies cited: Strategy 7, Policy D1, Policy H6, Policy NP2
