Valley View Ashcroft Road Bagpath Kingscote Tetbury Gloucestershire GL8 8YG

1. 1.The site of the proposed structures lies within the historic curtilage and immediate setting of Valley View, which is a modest, grade II listed, rural cottage. Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990, there is a statutory duty for the Local Planning Authority to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses. The current proposal, by virtue of the scale and design of the proposed garage, and the cluttering impact of a third modern outbuilding within the modest curtilage of this listed cottage, would incrementally, harmfully further erode the simple, uncluttered, rural setting of the building, which contributes positively to its significance, thereby neither preserving its special architectural or historic interest, nor sustaining its significance as a designated heritage asset. The harm would not be outweighed by any resultant public benefits. DCREFULZ 010022837790 26/02464/FUL The proposed garage would be visible from a public right of way, and the design of this structure would be out of character within this area of the National Landscape. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve the character and special qualities of the Cotswolds National Landscape. Accordingly, the proposal conflicts with Policy HE6(4) of the National Planning Policy Framework (August 2026), and to grant permission would be contrary to the requirements of sections 19 and 20 of the Framework, and the statutory duty of Section 66(1) of the 1990 Act. The proposal is also contrary to Policies EN1, EN2, EN4, and EN10 of the Cotswold Local Plan 2011-31.

From the council's decision notice.
