Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including on the setting of the Grade II listed building known as 'Glevering House'
  • whether the site is a suitable location for a dwelling, having particular regard to the Council's development plan and access to local services and facilities

What decided it

The less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building and to the character and appearance of the rural area, which the Inspector found was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery.

The benefits of housing delivery and sustainable design, though considerable, were outweighed by the identified harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the designated heritage asset; the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development under Paragraph 11(d) of the Framework
