Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for a replacement dwelling, having regard to local planning policies
whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed buildings known as 'Stoney Thorpe Hall' and 'Stoney Thorpe Hall, stable block and attached outbuilding approximately 10 metres west of house'

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies on replacement dwellings and heritage asset protection, with the identified harms to character, appearance and listed building setting not outweighed by the modest public benefits.
