Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether listed building consent is required for the proposed solar panels on the car port
What decided it
The car port is a modern free-standing structure erected after 1 July 1948 and therefore does not form part of the listed building, meaning listed building consent is not required and no appeal can be determined under section 20 of the Act.
