Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve a Grade II listed building known as 'The Manor House and Attached Walls and Gates' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting as it relates to the special interest of the nearby Grade I listed building, known as 'Church of St Guthlac'
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Passenham Conservation Area
What decided it
The moderate less-than-substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building and the setting of the nearby Grade I listed church, combined with the absence of public benefits sufficient to outweigh that harm, resulted in the proposal conflicting with the development plan and the requirements of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
