Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development and works on the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which the character or appearance of the conservation area would be preserved or enhanced
The effect of the development on the special qualities of the Cotswolds national landscape

What decided it

The proposals would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, and the minor public benefits were insufficient to outweigh the great weight required to be given to conservation of designated heritage assets under the Framework and development plan policies.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: EN2EN5EN10EN11
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208Paragraph 182Paragraph 38
