Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed replacement link would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 'West Barn The Old House' and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether or not the proposed replacement link would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The glazed specification and slender roof form of the replacement link would provide a light-touch connection that, despite being enclosed, would not adversely distort the plan form of the listed building and would be perceived as a suitably sympathetic and subservient modern addition.
