Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development / works would preserve the grade II listed Farmhouse or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The visual prominence and contemporary appearance of the solar panels would harm the significance of the grade II listed Farmhouse and its setting, and this harm is not outweighed by the modest environmental and energy security benefits of the scheme.
