Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Church Farm House, Church Street and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses.

What decided it

The public benefits of the proposal, limited to improved building fabric and continued residential use, were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building's special interest caused by the removal of the chimney breast and insertion of French doors.

Development plan policies: Policy DM8
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202Paragraph 62Paragraph 197
