Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Barn at Ley's Farm', and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the special interest and legibility of the listed building caused by the enclosure and domination of the front elevation could not be justified by the limited public benefits, which were outweighed by private benefits.

Framework references: 203, 205, 206, 208

Plan policies cited: Policy C6 of the South Bucks District Local Plan March 1999

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
