Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as Mortimer House or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The effect of the proposal on the significance of Bull Cottage as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposed orangery would cause less than substantial harm to the listed building's historic and architectural integrity, and the claimed public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this harm.
