Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve the Grade II listed Former Tithe Barn (the Barn), the Grade II* listed Manor House (the Manor) and other curtilage listed buildings, or any features of special architectural and/or historic character that they possess, including setting (Appeals A and B).
What decided it
The less than substantial, moderate harm to the heritage significance of the Barn and Cottage was outweighed by the benefit of securing the Barn's long-term maintenance and optimum viable use.
The less than substantial harm (assessed as moderate) to the significance of the listed Barn and Cottage was outweighed by the public benefit of securing the Barn's optimum viable use and long-term preservation, tipping the balance in favour of allowing both appeals.
