Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building, The Grange, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Ashford-in-the-Water Conservation Area (AWCA)
What decided it
The considerable weight given to the less than substantial harm to the listed building's special interest and the conservation area's character was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme.
The great importance and weight given to the less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area outweighed the modest public benefits (mainly private benefits of improved accommodation and one small heritage enhancement), so the balance tipped against the proposal.
