Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as '1 and 2 South Side' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Burwash Conservation Area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting as it relates to the special interest of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings known as 'Chaunt House' and 'Pope's Cottage Sadlers (Antiques)'
- conserve or enhance the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the setting of adjacent listed buildings by removing legible evidence of the original two-cottage form from the rear elevation, constituting unacceptable loss of historic fabric that cannot be outweighed by private benefits.
