Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve the Grade II listed barn and outbuilding or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Towersey Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to light, overlooking, and noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposals would accord with local policies and national guidance with regard to community facilities
What decided it
The proposals would have a significant and adverse effect on the living conditions of future occupiers due to inadequate light, overlooking, and high levels of noise and disturbance from the adjacent public house operations, contrary to local and national policy requirements for residential amenity.
