What officers recommended
Officers recommended approval because the revised scheme remained acceptable in principle and would not cause unacceptable harm to the Green Belt, landscape, heritage, neighbours, trees or highways.
“Overall, I am satisfied that the amended scheme has an acceptable visual impact on the character of the area and is sensitive to the Arden Landscape. Given the above, I am satisfied that the proposal would not lead to unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area or harm…”
“Heritage Assets Listed Buildings The site lies in proximity to two designated heritage assets: The Church of St Mary the Virgin (Grade II)* and The Old Rectory (Grade II). A Heritage Statement has been submitted with the application, which concludes that the proposed development would result in no change to the setting of these listed buildings. The elements of their setting that contribute to their significance would remain unaltered.”
