- Inspector
- Holden S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuilding is a curtilage listed building associated with Beanford Farmhouse and if so whether the proposed development and works would preserve any features or special architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the proposed development and works would preserve the setting of Beanford Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building, having particular regard to its location within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The public benefits of providing holiday accommodation through conversion of an existing building in accordance with development plan policies supporting rural tourism diversification outweighed the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building.
