Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the local area including landscape character and non-designated heritage assets
- Whether or not the setting of a Grade II listed building would be preserved
What decided it
The proposal would harm the setting of the Grade II listed Dale House Barn and conflict with heritage protection policies, which provides a clear reason for refusal that engages the caveat to paragraph 11 of the NPPF and prevents the tilted balance from applying despite the Council's shortfall in housing land supply.
The harm to the character and appearance of the local area, landscape character, and the setting of the Grade II listed building outweighed the public benefits of three windfall dwellings, self-build provision, and an orchard.
