Developers said the plan was the “last chance” to save the dilapidated property
Plans to refurbish at-risk Caldwell House by using funds raised from building a retirement village in its greenbelt grounds have been dealt another blow after developers lost their appeal.
The developers said the plan was the “last chance” to save the dilapidated Robert Adam-designed property, which they planned to turn into 15 assisted living flats. In an appeal statement, the developers claimed “the scale of enabling development is the minimum necessary to secure the future restoration and conversion of the listed buildings”.
“The enabling development and the restoration proposals are in the ownership of the appellant and there are no other opportunities to deliver the significant public benefits from the restoration proposals other than to develop land within the greenbelt.” He agreed the benefits of full restoration “greatly outweigh the adverse effects on setting”, but he did “not consider the overall proposal to be appropriate for the location”.
He said the proposal would generate significant travel and “the fairly isolated rural location is unsuitable for the nature of the development proposed”.
