Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and features of special architectural or historic interest, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rolvenden Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the designated heritage assets, particularly the erosion of spacing and group value between listed buildings, was not outweighed by the identified public benefits, and the proposal would also unacceptably compromise highway safety.
