Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, Pennybridge Farmhouse, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the listed building's historic and architectural integrity caused by the extension's scale and projection, which would compete with the visual dominance of the main building and impair its legibility, was not outweighed by the limited private and economic benefits of the proposal.

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the limited private benefits and short-term economic benefits of the proposal.
