What decided it
The unauthorised works fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Barn Hill Conservation Area, with the hardstanding appearing as a stark engineered feature and the new windows and door lacking original architectural details, and no public benefits exist to outweigh the harm to the designated heritage asset.
