Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposals on the significance of the listed Oak Barn, its neighbours, its setting and the character and appearance of the area generally
What decided it
The replacement of the metal gate with a wooden one would harm the character and appearance of the area by breaking the visual continuity of the metal estate fencing gates used across the conversion and wider estate, whereas the pergola and other elements cause no such harm.
