Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Little Oakhurst', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposal's contemporary design with flat roof, bulky appearance, and loss of historic fabric would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, and the moderate public benefits are insufficient to outweigh the considerable harm to the designated heritage asset.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 203Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
