Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are necessary to preserve a Grade II listed building, Rectory Farmhouse, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Abbots Ripton Conservation Area
What decided it
The visual incongruity of the bold red concrete roof tiles with modern profile, which are in stark contrast to the traditional pale red/buff clay tiles on the existing listed building and surrounding heritage structures, causes less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building and conservation area with no identified public benefits to outweigh this harm.
