Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed doorway and glazing of the upper gable would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Mount Tabor Stables', and any features of special historic interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Mount Tabor House
- The extent to which it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Wingrave Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed glazing would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building through loss of original fabric without sufficient public benefits to justify this harm, whereas the proposed doorway would be a reversible alteration to a later opening that would preserve the heritage asset's significance.
