Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed buildings known as Faircroft and the barn west of Faircroft or their setting or any features of special architectural and historic interest (or significance) which they possess

What decided it

The modest scale, subservient design, use of transparent modern materials, and reversibility of the works meant the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of both listed buildings and comply with Policy E9.
