Representation Summary:

Impact on Listed Heritage Assets

The Old Hall, c1650, and associated farm buildings are a cluster of Grade II Listed Heritage Assets.
Sites SN2007 and SN0531 comprise land previously owned by farmstead.
Development of the sites would cause harm to designated heritage assets by disrupting their setting and the ability to understand their historical significance.
There is inadequate evidence that the council have given this issue the ‘considerable weight or importance’ national policy demands for decision making in the plan thus far.
Legal precedent for rejecting such proposals citing Paragraph185 of the National Planning Policy Framework has been set.
