Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The removal of Condition 2 would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the Manuden Conservation Area by eroding the consistent use of traditional materials and architectural uniformity of the group of cottages, with no public benefits identified to justify this harm.
