Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed rear extension and outbuilding extension would preserve the setting as it relates to the special interest of the nearby grade II* listed building, known as 'Church of St James the Great' and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stonesfield Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the significance of Protestant House as a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the listed Church and the conservation area caused by the rear extension cutting into views of the Church, combined with harm to the non-designated heritage asset, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
