Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would preserve The White Cottage, a Grade II listed building, and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Sarratt – The Green Conservation Area

What decided it

The unsympathetic design and scale of the proposed orangery would cause less than substantial but nonetheless significant harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, which public and private benefits could not justify.
