Land south-east of the Manor House, Riding Mill

Ref APP/P2935/Y/23/3320679 Land south-east of the Manor House, Riding Mill (dismissed)

This appeal relates to a proposed development for 13 houses with access through a listed wall. The appellants argued that the wall was not listed. The inspector ruled that it was and dismissed the appeal, despite public benefits amounting to affordable housing and repairs to the host listed building.
