What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building The Elms, caused by the incongruous and cluttering effect of the proposed steel structure on Brewhouse Barn's preserved functional character, outweighs the accessibility benefits to the occupants when weighed in the balance under Paragraph 202 of the NPPF and the strong presumption against harm under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

- Policy CS9 of the Core Strategy 2006-2027Policy PSP1 of the Policies Sites and Places PlanPolicy PSP17 of the Policies Sites and Places Plan
