demolition of secondary structures to the rear (south) of Stibbington House to facilitate the construction of a new south wing and its connection to the existing principal block. Associated with these works is the creation of a new terrace, a new circular north garden and a private family garden near the swimming pool. It also includes a new allee of trees, and adjoining gardens, leading south from Stibbington House to a new pavilion within the South Fields. This will necessitate the demolition of a group of modern equestrian buildings

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Stibbington House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wansford Conservation Area.
What decided it
The moderate degree of less than substantial harm to the listed building and its setting, combined with the absence of sufficient public benefits to outweigh that harm, led to the dismissal of the appeal.
