Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Further Ford Farmhouse', and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The harm to the special interest of the listed building caused by the proposed extensions' erosion of the building's simple rectilinear plan form could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits identified.

The low-level harm to the special interest of the listed building outweighed the limited public benefits comprising modest economic investment, limited energy efficiency improvements, and private amenity gains
