Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Lower Farm House or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Rissington Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed design, with its extensive green oak cladding and elaborate roof form, would fundamentally alter the simple historic character of the barn, disrupting the legible historic relationship between the subordinate barn and the main farmhouse, thereby causing unjustified harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area that cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits identified.
