Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether the works would preserve a listed building, its setting, or any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- For Appeal A, whether the works would further the statutory purposes of the New Forest National Park
What decided it
The extensions would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed buildings and their settings, and would neither preserve nor enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the considerable harms.
