Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve Yew Tree Cottage, a two-storey Grade II listed dwelling, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building by adding significantly to the modern built form already attached to it, resulting in less than substantial harm to its significance with no public benefits to justify that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance, given considerable weight under national policy, was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the extension would serve only private aspiration and the building is already fit for residential use
