Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve the Grade II listed buildings - Ampney Park and the Gatepiers and Gates at Ampney Park and adjoining curved wall, or their settings, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ampney Crucis Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the North Meadow and Clattinger Farm Special Area of Conservation habitat site
What decided it
The public benefits of job creation, economic activity, heritage asset preservation and repair, and enhanced visitor appreciation of the heritage assets outweighed the less than substantial harm to the listed buildings and conservation area caused by the proposed access works.
