Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the setting of Barn Hawe as a Grade II Listed Building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets (the conservation area and listed building setting) was not outweighed by the limited social and economic benefits of the proposal, and the tilted balance did not apply because heritage protection policies provided a clear reason for refusal.
