Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, Limes Cottage, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposed extension, being of reasonably large scale and positioned at a right angle to the main dwelling, would harmfully disrupt the simple linear form of the existing listed building, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh the considerable harm to the building's special architectural and historic interest.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy LB1 of the Chiltern Local Plan (adopted 1997, alterations 2001, consolidated 2007 and 2011)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 201Paragraph 202
