Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garage and access arrangements on the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Worsted Lodge Farmhouse, including the curtilage listed buildings
- The effect of the proposed garage and access arrangements on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed cart lodge's ill-informed siting forward of the appeal building would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building that would not be outweighed by negligible public benefits.
The harm to the listed building's setting, to which considerable importance and weight must be given, was not outweighed by the very minor public benefits of the proposal.
