Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The extent to which the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Long Preston Conservation Area, and the effect of the proposal on non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The extent and design of the proposed alterations, particularly the numerous new window openings and rooflights to the barn and the modern conservatory to the annex, would unacceptably compromise the character and significance of the non-designated heritage assets and the conservation area, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this harm.

- Development plan policies
- SP1SP2SP4L1L2L3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 182Paragraph 208Paragraph 209
