Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building Tyrells End Cottage; and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Eversholt Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by any other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the significance of designated heritage assets and constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that is not justified by very special circumstances, as the identified harms are not clearly outweighed by the public benefits.
