Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building (Friars Cottage Saddlers) and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Monks Risborough Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural interest of the Grade II listed building because the loss of historic windows and their fixtures would be significant and irreversible, and the limited public benefits of improved energy efficiency do not outweigh this harm.
