Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Severn Gorge Conservation Area and the Outstanding Universal Value of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site
What decided it
The outbuilding's agricultural design and sensitive materials preserve the character of the conservation area and World Heritage Site, whereas the fencing's height, design and massing cause harmful intrusion into the rural character without sufficient public benefit to justify the heritage harm.
