“increase the number of people using local services”

Summary

A reduced resubmission of rear extensions to a curtilage-listed farmstead cottage still failed. The extensions eroded the plan form that explains its place in the courtyard group, and the heritage assessment could not say what fabric would be lost (DL 14-17). Benefits were largely private (DL 22).
