Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development/works would preserve the grade II listed Home Farmhouse or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would harm the character or appearance of the area
What decided it
The provision of off-street parking in this location, addressing highway safety and practical parking constraints on the narrow rural lane, was of sufficient public benefit to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the listed building from the wall demolition.
