Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is an appropriate development for its countryside location, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building 'Warren Farmhouse' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed building Warren Farmhouse, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
The harm to the listed building setting, characterised as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing delivery from a single dwelling.
