Planning appeal 3283847 at The Old Parsonage Bishop Norton Road, Glentham, Market Rasen, Lincs, LN8 2EU (West Lindsey District Council) was dismissed on 1 July 2022 by Inspector Hanna P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed works would preserve the special architectural or historic interest and setting of the Grade II listed building known as The Old Parsonage.
described as being ‘to demolish an old outside toilet building not used for over 50+ years and the attached wood/coal store barn that is in a poor state of repair. We purchased this property 2 years ago and uncovered this from overgrown vegetation we are slowly and sympathetically restoring it for us and future generations. This planning proposal is to clear this area after demolition and rebuild a new garden room and artist studio for our retirement hobbies’

What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural or historic interest and setting of the Grade II listed building, contrary to Section 16(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, and the personal benefits to the appellants do not constitute sufficient public benefit to outweigh the material harm.
