Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would preserve a Grade II listed building known as 'Barnaby House and Outbuilding and Garden Boundary Wall to Rear' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wansford Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of slimline double glazing throughout most of the building, combined with unjustified internal alterations that remove historic fabric and alter the historic circulation without clear justification, caused less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building that was not outweighed by the public benefit of optimising the building's use.
The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building and character of the conservation area from the internal works and window replacements was not outweighed by the public benefit of optimising the building's use as a single dwelling, as the building was already in residential use and no net increase in housing supply would result.
