Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed car park on the character and appearance of the local area
  • Whether the access would be safe and suitable for all users, including servicing, refuse and recycling collection
  • Whether the proposal can secure the mandatory biodiversity net gain objective of achieving at least a 10% gain in biodiversity value

What decided it

The enhancement of the setting of the neighbouring Grade II listed building through removal of most car parking from the front of the public house, combined with support for a valued community asset and visual improvements to the frontage, materially outweighed the limited harm from incursion into countryside.
