Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the grade I listed Gate House at Old Shute House and, if not, whether any harm would be outweighed by any public benefits
- Whether the proposal accords with established national and local planning policies for new housing within the countryside
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the grade I listed Gate House, when weighed against the moderate public benefits, tipped the heritage balance firmly against granting permission.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the grade I listed Gate House, when weighed against moderate public benefits including housing supply, retention of a non-designated heritage asset, and landscape planting, tipped firmly against granting permission.
