- Simpson V
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient information has been provided to establish the significance of the Grade II listed building at Castle Cottage and the Lockeridge Conservation Area, and the impacts of the proposed scheme on the significance of these heritage assets
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building at Castle Cottage or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lockeridge Conservation Area
What decided it
The large glazed opening would erode a distinctive characteristic of the listed building and cause less than substantial harm to its significance, which could not be outweighed by the modest and largely private benefits of the scheme.
