Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development/works would preserve the grade II listed Oak Cottage or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses.

What decided it

The proposed single storey extension, through its scale, modern finish and prominence, would fail to preserve the features of special architectural and historic interest of the grade II listed building, and the modest public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
