Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the significance of the Grade II listed building known as Highgrove House, as derived from its setting
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight/daylight, privacy and outdoor amenity space
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to privacy and outdoor amenity space
  • The effect of the proposal on protected species

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building Highgrove House through its setting, and this harm would not be outweighed by the public benefits of providing an additional dwelling.
