Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Jackmoor Cottage, or its setting, or any of the features of special or historical interest it possesses
What decided it
The proposed two-storey annexe would be an insubordinate addition that challenges the primacy of the humble listed building and, together with the glazed link and modern materials, would fail to preserve the special interest of the heritage asset, with insufficient public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy EN9Policy EN8
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
