Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, or its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
  • Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for car parking
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the listed building and its setting caused by the storage container and timber boundary fence, which was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
