Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the consequences of varying the conditions would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Milton Green Farmhouse, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building caused by the scale, massing and extensive glazing of the proposed extension was not outweighed by the limited public benefits, particularly given the availability of less harmful fallback schemes.
