Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building Carpenters Cottage or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and whether the character or appearance of the Chacombe Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The considerable weight ascribed to the heritage harm caused by the combined scale and extent of alterations to the listed building and conservation area outweighed the public benefits of completing the renovation works and preventing further disrepair.
