Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 'The Old House and Attached Outbuilding', or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Buckingham Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on protected species, specifically bats, or their habitats
What decided it
The very significant degree of uncertainty over the extent and detail of the proposed scheme, combined with inadequate justification for key elements and failure to adequately address protected species concerns, meant the harm to the heritage asset could not be outweighed by the public benefits.
