Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the garden shed on the setting of Hardcragg Hall
The effect of the shed on the character and appearance of the Grange-over-Sands Conservation Area
The effect of the shed on the living conditions of the occupiers of the Hall and other neighbouring properties, with regard to loss of privacy, overlooking, overbearance and health and well-being

What decided it

The shed's location in a screened corner of the garden, combined with the maturing Beech hedge and weathering of materials, means it does not detrimentally affect the setting of the listed building or the character of the conservation area, and does not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
