Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development/works would preserve the grade II listed Urina Cottage or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the Adderbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension and solar panels would harm the significance of the grade II listed building and the conservation area through their incongruous modern appearance and scale, and the modest public benefits were insufficient to outweigh the great weight that must be attached to the conservation of these designated heritage assets.
