Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve Lantern Cottage, a Grade II listed building, and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset and constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, and the private benefits to the occupants were insufficient to outweigh these harms.
