Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location, the proposed land use and the amount of development is suitable for residential development, having particular regard to (a) the Council's development plan strategy for development, and (b) the effect on the setting of the Grade II listed building, Stone House, and adjacent non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The considerable weight attached to the harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building Stone House and adjacent non-designated heritage assets, which is not outweighed by the public benefits of self-build housing delivery and modest economic benefits.
