Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, known as Demesne Farmhouse and attached farm buildings and garden walls, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The proposed double glazed windows and door would lack the constructional integrity and visual subtleties of the existing single glazed features and would be clearly identifiable as modern fixtures, causing harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building that is not outweighed by sufficient public benefits.

Development plan policies: Strategic Policy IPolicy ENV11
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 201Paragraph 202
