Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Chart Court Barn grade II listed building
- whether the site would be a suitable location for housing, having regard to the provisions of the development plan and the accessibility of services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on road user safety, with particular regard to parking arrangements
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building caused by the domestication of the barn's design and setting, combined with the unsustainable location and deficient parking arrangements, collectively rendered the proposal unacceptable and contrary to the development plan.
