Our Response:
May 2025
We object to the proposals which are the subject of the above appeal. The proposed development would be next to three heritage assets: Jarn Wild Garden, Jarn Mound and Mathew Arnold’s Field. The surrounding rural character and setting of these assets would be harmed by the development of the application site, which reads as an independent dwelling rather than as ancillary ‘guest accommodation’. As well as the additional built form, this proposal would cause a loss of landscaping and bring with it inevitable domestic paraphernalia.
A standalone development of this nature within the green belt adjacent to a number of heritage assets should not be permitted
