Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II* listed building - The Manor House, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Houghton Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed kitchen extension and new garage would harmfully reduce the integrity of the listed building and detract from the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the public benefits of the scheme would not outweigh this less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets.

Framework references: 212, 215
