Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby dwellings, with respect to noise
  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Paxford CA and its effect on its setting
  • whether the proposal would conserve and enhance the natural beauty and special qualities of the Cotswold National Landscape

What decided it

The lack of clarity regarding the visual effect of the substantial 14m long 2.4m high acoustic barrier required to mitigate noise impacts, which is particularly undesirable given that Paxford House is a Grade II* listed building of national importance.
