Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed new buildings north of 'The Glebe Hotel' would preserve this Grade II listed building and any features of special historic interest that it possesses, including its setting, and the extent to which they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barford Conservation Area (All Appeals)
whether the proposed development makes suitable provision for visitor parking, and any associated effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and highway safety (Appeal A only)
whether the proposal would comply with the policies of the Barford Neighbourhood Development Plan and amount to a suitable scheme for housing in the defined settlement boundary (Appeals A and C)

What decided it

Whether the new buildings were physically joined to or separated from the listed Glebe Hotel determined whether the setting of the listed building and character of the Conservation Area were harmed (Scheme 1) or preserved (Scheme 2).

For Scheme 1, the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting and the Conservation Area, to which great weight was given, was not outweighed by the moderate/limited public benefits identified, so the appeal was dismissed; for Scheme 2, no such heritage harm arose so the balance favoured allowing the appeal.
