Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Worston Conservation Area
- the effect on the character of the surrounding open countryside
What decided it
The harm to the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building and the character of the conservation area, being less than substantial but considerable, outweighs the minimal public benefits identified, particularly as the dwelling remains viable without the works.
