Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works carried out constitute unacceptable harm to the character of the listed building as a building of special architectural or historic interest
What decided it
The key test is whether alterations affect the character of the farmhouse as a building of special architectural or historic interest; works causing less than substantial harm cannot be justified where they are not essential to secure the building's future use.
