Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The partition wall and mezzanine floor would conceal the traditional threshing barn layout and harm the special historic interest of the listed building, and the public benefits of the proposal do not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Local Plan Part 2: Sites and Development Management Policy DM1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 208
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
