Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'Barn at Cold Piece Farm to South of Farmhouse', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the special historic and architectural interest of the Grade II listed building caused by alterations to accommodate insulation, which would obscure the majority of historic fabric and alter the external appearance, outweighed the public benefits of repair, maintenance, and securing the building's optimum viable use.
