Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve the setting as it relates to the special interest of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, known as 'Alveston Hill Farmhouse' and 'Barn and attached range immediately north west of Alveston Hill Farmhouse'
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the location of the proposal in open countryside would be acceptable, with particular regard to development plan policies for replacement dwellings

What decided it

The fallback positions, which could result in three separate households occupying the site with associated impacts, meant that the harm from the proposal's conflict with Policy CS.20 was negligible and outweighed by its design quality and environmental benefits.

The modest conflict with Policy CS.20 regarding the size and siting of replacement dwellings was outweighed by the high-quality design, biodiversity net gain, energy efficiency credentials, and the existence of fallback schemes that could result in materially similar or greater impacts on the character of the area and travel patterns.
