Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the significance of the listed building
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the listed building caused by unnecessary and unsympathetic design elements, particularly the smaller extension, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme, and the proposal conflicted with the development plan's spatial strategy for rural conversions.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, which included retention and reuse of the building, removal of an unsightly modern structure, provision of one dwelling in a context of acute housing land supply shortfall (2.42 years), and modest economic and environmental benefits.
