Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as The Hayloft and Former Stable Block to Pirbright Lodge

What decided it

The prominent roof with multiple rooflights on the proposed extension would harm the simple appearance and roofscape of the listed building, and the limited public benefits of rationalising the dwelling layout do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the building's special interest.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
