Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property
  • whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed buildings, Ivall's Farm and Hooker's Place, and the extent to which the works would preserve or enhance the setting of the Bentworth Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed development would preserve the settings of the listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area through its limited scale, subservient design of the single-storey element, and retention of considerable separation distances and intervening landscaping.

Framework references: 199, 200
