Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposals would preserve the grade II listed buildings on the appeal site and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that they possess
- the effect of the proposals on the setting of Penfold Cottage
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed farmhouse, arising from the scale of the proposed extension and the loss of part of a historic timber beam, was not outweighed by the heritage and other public benefits of the scheme.
The heritage and other public benefits decisively outweighed the less than substantial harm to the barns and cart shed, but did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed farmhouse, so the appeals were dismissed overall.
