- Thompson P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve a Grade II listed building (Barn and stable range approximately 15 metres east of Millwood Farmhouse) and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building (Millwood Farmhouse)
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Millwood End Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed door would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and would incrementally harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits of improved access for maintenance did not outweigh this less than substantial harm.
