Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as 'Oasthouse 30 metres to north of Dambridge Farmhouse' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the listed building and its special architectural and historic interest through the loss of historic fabric and erosion of the building's distinctive agricultural form, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 208
