Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building, known as The Granary, or any feature or special architectural or historic interest it possesses
  • Whether the development and works would harm the setting of Grade II listed buildings, known as Rill Farmhouse, Pound House, three ranges of farm buildings west of Rill Farmhouse (Courtyard Steading) and Dove Barn

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of multiple listed buildings and their settings, combined with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm, conflicts with the development plan and statutory duties under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Framework references: 202, 215, 167

Plan policies cited: Policy EN5
