Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant policies related to the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of Stancombe Park, a Grade I Registered Park and Garden, and the Cotswolds National Landscape
What decided it
The proposed barn and hardstanding would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of Stancombe Park, a Grade I Registered Park and Garden, by introducing permanent built development into an otherwise open agricultural field, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits claimed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP15Policy CP14Policy ES10Policy ES7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 215
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
