Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building and any features of architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Chesterford Conservation Area
What decided it
The considerable harm to the special interest of the listed building and the Conservation Area from the proposed extension's form, scale and attachment, combined with loss of historic fabric, could not be justified by the public benefits offered, particularly given the building's ongoing viable residential use did not depend on the proposal.
