Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of Blackberry Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building
- the living conditions of the occupiers of The Farthings, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighs any private benefits and conflicts with the development plan, with no material considerations to overcome this conflict.
The private benefits of providing additional internal space to the occupiers were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting and harm to neighbouring living conditions, with no public benefits to justify the harm.
