Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the setting of a Grade II listed building (Domford)
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including its effect on the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) and existing trees

What decided it

The very modest scale of the extension, its sympathetic design using matching materials, and its limited visibility from the surrounding area meant it would have a neutral impact on the listed building's setting and would not harm the character of the AONB or surrounding area.
