Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings known as 'The New Inn' and 'Yoah Cottage', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest they possess
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of Yoah Cottage, with particular regard to noise and odour

What decided it

The harm to the special interest of the listed buildings and their settings was not outweighed by the public benefits, and there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
