Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed Hertfordshire Lodge and its setting
the effect on the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the listed building and its setting, and harm to the AONB landscape, are not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the security measures, which are principally private in nature.

The limited public benefits of the security measures do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to Hertfordshire Lodge as a designated heritage asset and its setting or the effect on landscape and scenic quality in the AONB.
