Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the special interest of the Grade I listed Holy Trinity Church, including setting, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lambley Conservation Area
What decided it
The fibreglass roof covering creates a visually incongruous appearance that fails to preserve the setting of the Grade I listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the moderate public benefit of maintaining the outbuilding does not outweigh this heritage harm.
