Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings, any of the features of special architectural or historic interest they possess, and their setting
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed buildings and their setting, and the limited adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of sustainable development in the context of an out-of-date development plan and unmet housing land supply.
The limited adverse impacts of providing an additional family-sized dwelling in a relatively accessible rural settlement that sensitively re-uses and preserves heritage assets would be outweighed by the economic and social benefits from the conversion and creation of a separate dwelling, assisting in the vitality of the settlement and supply of rural housing
