Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Hollands Farmhouse, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the listed building from the overtly modern appearance of the solar panels, which would be in stark contrast with the traditional materials and setting, outweighs the public benefits of renewable energy generation.

Paragraph 197
