Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special interest and significance of the Grade II* listed building
What decided it
The dwarf wall causes less than substantial harm to the special interest and significance of the Grade II* listed building by disrupting the historic designed landscape and Lutyens' intended architectural composition, and the private benefits to the owner do not outweigh the great weight to be given to the conservation of the heritage asset.

- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
