Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the nearby Listed Building
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the Snarestone Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed windows would be small-scale changes that, given the considerable distance and intervening features between the appeal property and the Listed Building, would preserve the setting of Manor Farmhouse, and would be sympathetic to and fit comfortably within the Conservation Area character, particularly given the prevalence of similar modern windows on nearby converted and new-build properties.
