Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Brays Hill Farmhouse, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Brays Hill House
- Whether it would conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building Brays Hill Farmhouse through the inauthentic and disproportionately large rear extension, combined with harm to the setting of adjacent listed building Brays Hill House and the High Weald National Landscape, was not outweighed by any public benefits.
