Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and/or works would preserve a Grade II listed building, Bonnington House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the South Clifton Conservation Area
- Whether the steps required to restore the character of the building to its former condition would serve that purpose (ground (i))
What decided it
The fencing and pergolas constitute incongruous modern domestic features that harm the historic and architectural integrity of the Grade II listed building and its agrarian setting, with insufficient public benefit to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage asset.
