Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building, known as Holly Tree Cottage, or any feature of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the development and works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Buckland Conservation Area
What decided it
The loss of 19th century fabric and distinctive window detailing of special architectural and historic interest, combined with the failure of the proposed replacements to preserve the character of the listed building and Conservation Area, outweighed the thermal efficiency benefits which could be achieved through less harmful alternatives.
