Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Padbrook Cottage or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The opening up would better reveal an element of the listed building's special interest as part of its original intended elevational treatment, counterbalancing the modest loss of later non-original fabric.
The modest loss of the later lath and plaster covering and internal cupboard was outweighed by the benefit of revealing and reinstating an element of the building's original special interest and historic character.
