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.
