Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, The Cottage, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The south-facing gable window would introduce an opening to a historically solid gable end, eroding the authenticity and group value of the listed farm buildings, with no sufficient public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
