Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed outbuilding on the setting of the adjacent listed building and the wider setting of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The considerable size and elevated position of the proposed outbuilding would dominate and harm the setting of the listed farmhouse and fail to conserve the natural beauty of the AONB, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building setting and AONB natural beauty, weighted with considerable importance under section 66 of the Listed Buildings Act, was not outweighed by any public benefits, resulting in dismissal.
