Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character, appearance or historic interest of the listed building and on the character and of the surrounding area
What decided it
The absence of an appropriate mechanism to secure agricultural occupation of the barn meant the public benefits could not be relied upon to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the listed building was not outweighed by the modest public benefits (economic, environmental and social) which could not be secured with certainty.
