Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The great weight required to be given to the harm to the listed buildings and conservation area under Framework paragraph 199 outweighs the modest public benefits of a single dwelling.
The modest public benefits of one additional dwelling and minor economic contribution would not be sufficient to outweigh the great weight which must be attached to the harm to both the listed buildings and to the conservation area.
