Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the works carried out without listed building consent should be retained or whether the enforcement notice should be upheld
  • Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice requirements is reasonable

What decided it

The panelling materially harms the significance of the listed building by creating an appearance inconsistent with the building's original modest farmhouse character, with no offsetting public benefits, and therefore must be removed.
