Although the site is not statutorily listed, it is within the setting of the Grade II listed Little Abbots, designated in 1987. Yet, the site is not considered to be curtilage listed, as confirmed by the Council during pre-application stage which we received their response on 22^nd April 2024. This project had been coordinated with the WS Planning and Architecture team, to install 38 ground mounted solar panels within the existing chicken pen to provide a renewable energy source for the main dwelling that can assist in reducing carbon emissions, and thus to achieve an environmentally sustainable property. Despite the considerable harm, the benefit regarding energy efficiency brought by the proposal had outweigh its harm. There is requisite separation between the listed building and the panels, plus bounded by mature hedges and trees, the intervisibility between the two is greatly reduced, where there will be no adverse effect on the openness of the setting.
