Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the property known as "Barn Cottage", with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
- whether the building is of permanent and substantial construction
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of the nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy, overlooking and noise disturbance, combined with failure to demonstrate permanent and substantial construction and harm to the setting of listed buildings, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the harm.
