Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting and significance of a Grade II listed building, Forest House
- the effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the surrounding area with particular regard to the effect on the long-term health and vitality of trees
What decided it
The permanent negative impact on the setting and significance of the listed building, combined with the unresolved risk to the long-term health of protected trees, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing an additional dwelling.
