Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as Wheel Cottage and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Wratting Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the special interest of the listed building and the appearance of the conservation area caused by the incongruous stormproof double-glazed windows is not outweighed by the limited public benefit of avoiding waste.

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
