Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Fen Drayton Conservation Area and whether the proposed development would preserve the settings of the Grade II listed buildings known as The Cottage and Gate House
What decided it
The prominent position and distinctive roof design of Plot 1 would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building The Cottage and to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the modest public benefits of delivering two dwellings would not outweigh this harm when great weight is given to conservation of the designated heritage assets.
